Ingredients
- 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
- 1–1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 8 eggs

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).
