Food and Recipes Dish Casserole Slow-Cooker Cinnamon Roll Casserole 3.3 (7) 6 Reviews Introducing the sweetest way to kick off a weekend breakfast or casual holiday brunch.

Like other one-pot dishes, the limited hands-on time (here, it's just 20 minutes) will allow you to spend more time on doing things you love with the people who mean the most. Prepare for a delicious casserole that's made for breakfast, brunch, or anytime snacking.

Southern Homestyle), biscuits separated and cut into fourths (about 64 biscuit pieces total) 1/2 cup (4 oz.) salted butter, melted, plus 2 Tbsp. butter, softened, divided 4 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 2/3 cup plus 2 to 3 Tbsp. half-and-half, divided 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans 1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened 2 1/4 cups (about 9 oz.) powdered sugar, divided Directions Line bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker with aluminum foil; lightly coat foil with cooking spray. Stir together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Toss together biscuit pieces and 1/2 cup melted butter in a large bowl until biscuits are coated. Working in batches, add biscuits to granulated sugar mixture, and toss to coat; transfer biscuits to prepared slow cooker. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over biscuits in slow cooker. Whisk together eggs, salt, 2/3 cup of the half-and-half, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla in a bowl until well combined; pour over biscuits in slow cooker. Sprinkle with pecans. Beat cream cheese and 2 tablespoons softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add remaining 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar to cream cheese mixture alternately with 2 tablespoons of the half-and-half, beating on high speed until frosting is smooth, creamy, and a little loose, about 1 minute, adding remaining 1 tablespoon half-and-half, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. Drizzle half of the frosting over biscuit mixture in slow cooker. (Cover remaining frosting, and set aside until ready to serve.) Cover slow cooker; cook on LOW until center of casserole is set and biscuit bottoms are browned, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Drizzle casserole with remaining frosting; serve warm. Caitlin Bensel Rate it Print
