A simple, crowd-pleasing breakfast casserole using tater tots, eggs, cheese, and sausage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots, thawed
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange the thawed tater tots in a single, even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the cooked sausage and chopped onion evenly over the layer of tater tots.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the sausage and tater tot layers.
  6. Top the casserole evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For make-ahead preparation, assemble the casserole completely, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer bacon, substitute 1 pound of cooked, crumbled bacon for the sausage.
  • To prevent the tater tots from becoming too soggy, ensure they are fully thawed before assembling the dish.
