1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage (or bacon, ham, or vegetarian alternative)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sour cream, hot sauce, or salsa
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, and half of the shredded cheese.
Assemble the Casserole:
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the egg mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tater tots.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the cheese is melted, and the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Serve:
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or other optional toppings if desired.
Tips
Make it vegetarian by skipping the meat and adding veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
Prep ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake it in the morning for an easy breakfast.
Customize the cheese: Use pepper jack, Swiss, or your favorite cheese blend for extra flavor.
