These Crockpot Breakfast Potatoes make the best side dish to your breakfast recipes or brunch recipes. Tasty, delicious, and easy to make!

A plate of seasoned, diced breakfast potatoes mixed with red and green bell peppers and onions, garnished with cilantro, sits next to two browned sausage patties. A fork rests on the plate, with a checkered napkin beside it and a portion of a crockpot visible in the background.

Nutella Brownies takes brownies to a whole new level. Nutella is swirled into the fudgy brownies mixture to create a super easy brownie recipe.

Nutella Brownies
The chocolate flavor and soft texture make them easy to eat with a tall glass of milk. If you stock your pantry with jars of Nutella, you probably already have everything else to make these brownies.
