Description

Hearty sausage and tater tot breakfast casserole with eggs and cheese – perfect for make-ahead brunch or family breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb hot breakfast sausage
  • 1 (30-32oz) bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 11/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is no longer pink. Break it up as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.

Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen tater tots, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Stir to evenly distribute.

Fill Baking Dish: Pour the tater tot mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Whisk Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.

Add Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tot and sausage mixture in the baking dish.

Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.

Optional: If preparing ahead, cover the unbaked casserole and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove from fridge and bake as directed (may need a few extra minutes).

Notes

Make-ahead friendly and perfect for holidays or weekend brunches.

If freezing before baking, always thaw fully before placing in the oven.
