Kitchen gizmos come and go, but the set-it-and-forget-it charm of the slow cooker remains a perennial staple in a busy home kitchen. Low-and-slow cooking is especially welcomed during the holidays when you've got so many plans that worrying about the first meal of the day is the last thing on your mind. For the easiest prep, consider a box of slow-cooker liners (they make cleaning up a snap and keep the edges of eggs from browning).

These slow cooker Christmas breakfast casseroles will add a little holiday magic to your morning!
