   Coat the interior bottom of the slow cooker crock with a light layer of cooking spray.

3. 3

   Layer the hash-brown potatoes across the bottom of the slow cooker, then add the cooked sausage on top; scatter the mozzarella over the sausage and give it a gentle stir.

   In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then blend in the milk. Mix in the mustard, salt, and pepper, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and sausage layer.
