Ingredients

• 32 ounces Frozen tater tots
• 1 pound Breakfast sausage
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or shortening.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain the excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

Spread the frozen tater tots evenly in the greased baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the layer of tater tots.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tots and sausage, ensuring the liquid seeps through evenly to the bottom of the dish.

Step 7

Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the surface.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm. Enjoy!
