Ingredients

Casserole
  • 1 pound Bacon coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion finely diced
  • 3/4 cup bell peppers chopped, can use red, green or both
  • 32 ounces tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided use
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place the bacon in a large pan over medium high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned and crispy, 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the bacon from the pan. Drain off excess grease, leaving about 2 teaspoons of grease in the pan.
  4. Place the onions and bell peppers in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until tender.
  5. Place the tater tots in a large bowl. Add 3/4 of the bacon, the peppers and onions, and 1 1/4 cups of cheese. Toss gently to combine. Reserve the remaining bacon for later use.
  6. Spread the tater tot mixture into the baking pan.
  7. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the tater tot mixture.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes or until center is set.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  11. Top with reserved bacon and green onions, then serve.

Notes

  • There is no need to thaw the tater tots before adding them to the casserole.
  • You can assemble this casserole the night before and store it covered in the fridge for up to 8 hours. In the morning, bake as directed. You may need to add a few more minutes to the bake time to compensate for starting with a cold dish.
