Hi, it’s Kristy in the Rada Cutlery kitchen, and I just made this delicious Western Omelet overnight. While I was sleeping, it was cooking. I made it in a slow cooker, it’s one fo the recipes in our 12 Hour Slow Cooker Recipes book. Let me show you how I mixed it up.

First of all, you’ll need half an onion and half a green pepper. I’m just going to dice these. What we’re going to do is put them in a medium saucepan and just sauté them until they’re tender. Here I’m using the Rada Stubby Butcher. It works really well to chop up vegetables and meats. I’m going to go back and dice up that ham in a second, here. So you’ll need half an onion and half a green pepper. This is going to make enough for 6 servings. If you want to double the recipe, you certainly can do that, too. So to our medium saucepan, in this skillet we’re going to add a couple tablespoons of olive oil. And then we’ll add our vegetables and just sauté these on the stove until they’re tender. Then we’ll want to let them cool for about 10 minutes.

While our vegetables are sautéing, I’m going to dice up a half pound of cooked ham. Again, you can go back and use the same Rada Stubby Butcher knife. It’s a good, sturdy knife if you’re slicing roasts, it would be good for melons. It’s super sharp and easily cuts through that ham. If you have a group of team looking to raise money for uniforms, membership dues, or travel, these Rada products sell easily and you make a 40% profit. Now we’ll go check our vegetables.

Once your vegetables are tender, you’ll want to let them cool for about 10 minutes because we don’t want our eggs to cook when we place them on top of it. So put those aside. In your slow cooker you’ll want to spray it well with cooking spray. Make sure you get it on the sides. Then we’re going to take a pound of frozen hash browns. What we’re going to do is put a third of them on the bottom of the slow cooker. Then we’re going to add a third of our cooked, diced ham. Just sprinkle that over those hash browns.

Then we’re going to add a third of the green peppers and onions. Then here I have a cup and a half of shredded cheddar cheese. We’re going to put a third of that over the top of the vegetables. Then we’re just going to repeat it 2 more times.

Now we’re ready to mix up our eggs. So here I have 6 eggs. To that we’re going to add a half cup of whole milk and about a half a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Now with a wire whisk, in this case the Rada Handi-Stir, we’re just going to whip those eggs and milk together. You can see it works really well with how fast these are scrambled together. It puts a lot of air into them so you get those nice, fluffy scrambled eggs. It’s great on pancake batters, Jell-O puddings. Now we’re just going to pour this over the ingredients in our slow cooker. I like to just evenly get it spread around.

Cook it on low 8, 10, 12 hours depending on the size of your Crockpot. You wake up in the morning, people will think you worked all night to bring them a delicious Western Omelet. That’s just one of the recipes in our 12-Hour Slow Cooker Recipes book.
