Description
A simple, hearty casserole using frozen tater tots, eggs, sausage, and cheese that you can assemble the night before for an easy morning bake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 pound breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange half of the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage or bacon, chopped onion, and half of the shredded cheese over the tater tots.
- Layer the remaining tater tots over the cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tots in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the plastic wrap or foil.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For make-ahead assembly, cover the dish tightly and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
- You can substitute bacon for sausage or use a mix of both.
- If you prefer a crispier top layer, bake the casserole uncovered for the entire time, checking frequently to prevent burning.
