đź“ť Ingredients
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
1 lb breakfast sausage (or bacon/ham), cooked and crumbled
8 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional for extra melt)
1/4 cup chopped green onions or diced bell peppers (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: a dash of hot sauce or paprika for flavor kick
👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Meat
In a skillet, cook the sausage (or bacon) until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
3. Whisk the Eggs
In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and any seasonings you like.
4. Assemble the Casserole
In the baking dish, layer the cooked sausage evenly. Sprinkle cheese on top, then pour the egg mixture over it all. Finally, arrange tater tots in a single layer across the top.
5. Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tater tots are golden and crispy. If desired, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.
6. Serve Hot
Let cool slightly, slice into squares, and serve warm. Garnish with green onions or hot sauce, if desired.
