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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Arrange the thawed tater tots in a single layer over the sausage.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. 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.
