Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Frozen tater tots
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or shortening.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain the excess grease and set aside.
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly in the greased baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the layer of tater tots.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tots and sausage, ensuring the liquid seeps through evenly to the bottom of the dish.
Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm. Enjoy!
