My breakfast casserole with a tater tot crust is a fluffy egg casserole baked up with lots of sausage, onions, peppers, and cheese, topped with everybody's favorite hash browns. It's a fun way to serve breakfast to a hungry crowd.

Ingredients
- 1 lb loose breakfast sausage
- 1/2 large red or yellow onion, diced
- 2 colorful bell peppers, diced
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 cups shredded cheese, I used half cheddar and half pepper jack
- Tater Tots. You won't need the whole bag, but I used just over 100 mini Tots.
garnish
- sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F Lightly spray a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove to a plate but don't wipe out the pan.
- In the same skillet saute the onions and peppers over medium high heat for a couple of minutes, just to soften slightly and brighten the colors.
- Whisk the eggs until well blended.
- Blend in the Half and Half.
- Stir in the cheeses, adding a teaspoon each of salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
- Add the sausage to the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Top with the peppers and onions. Spread out evenly.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over everything. Note: I take a fork and gently mix everything together at this point.
- Arrange the Tater Tots on top of the casserole in any pattern you like. Lay them down gently, don't push them down into the liquid.
- Bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the center is cooked through. It should not be jiggly when shaken. Note: if the crust seems to be browning too quickly you can loosely cover with foil toward the end of cooking.
- Slice into squares and serve topped with sliced green onions, if you like.
