Ingredients
Scale
1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots, thawed
1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Arrange the thawed tater tots in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage, chopped onion, and shredded cheese evenly over the layer of tater tots.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage, onion, and cheese layers.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can prepare this casserole the night before. Assemble all ingredients except the egg mixture, cover, and refrigerate. Add the egg mixture just before baking and add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
For a make-ahead freezer option, assemble the casserole completely, cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
Use bacon or ham instead of sausage if you prefer a different meat.
