I've never been much of a crock-pot cooker, but every now & again, I find a recipe that involves the slow cooker that I just have to make!
That's what it was like earlier this year, when I found a delicious overnight slow-cooker cinnamon roll casserole (just plain old cinnamon rolls), that I decided to make for my kids, one morning before school.
Every morning, every school morning at least, the kids' breakfasts start with a plate of scrambled eggs, followed by either a bowl of oatmeal, or cereal, or toast. Sometimes we even go for toaster waffles.
On all other mornings, we go bigger than that. And they know that. On non-school mornings, we do eggs + bacon/sausage + waffles, or pancakes... You get my drift.
So one morning I decided to surprise them with something different than the usual. I made them this delicious Cinnamon Roll Casserole:
On another morning, I made them an even yummier Pecan Pie Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole:
Now, I have found the perfect thing to start our day on Christmas morning: Hot Chocolate Roll Casserole with White Chocolate Ganache Drizzle.
Are you here for this one, honey?!
Let's jump in!
