Ingredients

1 lb hot breakfast sausage
1 bag 28–32 oz frozen tater tots
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
12 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook hot breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
Spread frozen tater tots evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the tater tots, then top with shredded cheddar cheese from the 2 cups total.
In a large bowl, whisk together large eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tots, sausage, and cheese.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Substitute cooked bacon or diced ham for the sausage if desired.

To make ahead, assemble and refrigerate overnight.

Let sit at room temperature while the oven preheats and add 10–15 minutes to the bake time until the eggs are fully set.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
