Description
A simple, hearty casserole featuring tater tots, eggs, sausage, and cheese for a satisfying breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon or ham for the breakfast sausage.
- For a spicier flavor, add a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- If you prefer crispier tots, you can bake the tots and sausage layer for 15 minutes before adding the egg mixture.
