I made this for Christmas morning and when I woke up it was a crock pot of mush. I threw the recipe together again and baked it in the oven at 350 for a hour and it turned out better.

I needed to make something for a Friday breakfast at the company where I work. I doubled the recipe, and it was a big hit! It was convenient to be able to make ahead and cook in the crockpot overnight....ready to take to work the next morning! Thanks for the excellent recipe!

At first I wasn't going to review this since I didn't use the crockpot (too lazy to set it up the night before!), but I used the same ingredients and layered them in a skillet. I did this on the stovetop in a deep skillet, browning the tater tots and ham and onions first. Then I layered the ingredients in the pan and put a lid on it and cooked it over a medium flame for about 20 minutes (till it was set - I didn't actually time it precisely) then when it was finished I uncovered it and put it in a hot oven for a couple minutes to set the top (a broiler would be better, but mine is stupid, so I didn't use it.) The family loved it!
