Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
Description
Start by browning mild ground breakfast sausage in a skillet, breaking it into crumbles and cooking until fully done, then draining excess fat. The cooked sausage forms the protein base in a 9x13 pan, topped with two cups of shredded cheddar cheese for a melty, sharp layer beneath the eggs.
A whisked mixture of six eggs, two cups of milk, and salt is poured evenly over the sausage and cheese to set into a rich custard as it bakes. Frozen tater tots are arranged in a single layer across the top, providing a crispy, golden crust that contrasts the creamy interior once baked at 350°F for 40 minutes.
The casserole is finished by sprinkling the remaining cheddar cheese over the tots and baking for an additional 5-10 minutes to melt and brown the cheese topping. Letting the dish rest before serving helps it set, making it easier to cut and serve a cheesy, comforting breakfast casserole.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage mild, ground
- 3 cups cheddar cheese divided, shredded
- 2 cups milk
- 6 egg large
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 32 oz tater tots frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat a skillet on medium high and brown the sausage, breaking it up and cooking until no longer pink. Once fully cooked, drain any juices and spread the sausage on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
- Sprinkle two cups of shredded cheese over the sausage.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese.
- Arrange the frozen tater tots to cover the whole dish (you may not need the full 32 oz). Place the dish uncovered in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
- Top the tator tots with the remaining one cup of cheese, and bake for another five to ten minutes until the sides are bubbling and the tator tots are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and let it rest for about ten minutes before serving. Enjoy!
