Ingredients:
- 2 lb hot breakfast sausage (1 pound works great too)
- 1 (30-32oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink. Drain fat.
- In a large bowl, toss together tater tots, cooked sausage and cheeses. Pour into a lightly greased 9×13-inch pan.
- Whisk together eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and milk. Pour over tater tot mixture.
- **Cover and refrigerate at this point if baking later.**
- Bake uncovered for 60 – 70 minutes, or until eggs are set.
- We cooked it in the crock pot for 4 hours and it worked great too. It wasn’t crispy on the top and the tater tots broke up more, but a great option if you need. It still tasted great.
Notes:
Can make casserole in advance and refrigerate or freeze for later.
If baking after refrigerating, you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.
To bake after freezing, thaw completely and bake as directed above.
To reheat casserole after freezing, thaw completely. Cover casserole with aluminum foil and bake at 350ºF for 30 to 40 minutes, until heated through.
