Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 16 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 stalks green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layers.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top of the casserole, ensuring they cover the surface completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots and return the dish to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
If desired, garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm. Enjoy!
