Tater tots have always been one of my favorites and now I'm serving them up in this amazing Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.
Nothing beats an easy and hearty breakfast recipe. Everyone in my family loves this Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.
How to make Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole:
Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F and then prepare a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step two: Next whisk together your milk, eggs, and seasoning and set aside. You can add more or less seasoning to suit your taste.
Step three: On a skillet cook and crumble ground sausage then drain fat and place in the bottom of your prepared casserole dish.
Step four: Top cooked ground sausage with shredded cheese.
Step five: Next, add tater tots to the top of the casserole then pour in egg wash evenly.
Baking Directions:
Step six: Bake for 50-55 minutes until cooked through. You know it's cooked when you can put a toothpick in and it comes out clean. Optional: top with diced green onions.
Tools I used for this recipe:
Casserole dish: For this recipe, I used a 3 quart 9 x 13 casserole dish. I find these to be a must-have in any home. The one pictures I was gifted but I will be linking another favorite.
Whisk: Can you believe this whisk has over 1,000 reviews on Amazon! It's crazy and such a simple item. If you need one I would pick this one up.
Skillet: A skillet with a lid would be wonderful for this recipe. Cooking fatty meats like sausage can cause a lot of grease to a lid is great to keep that all inside and not splattered all over the kitchen. This is another one with great reviews and I personally love.

I am wondering if you have ever tried making this ahead and serving the next morning? What about freezing it? It looks delicious, but I am concerned that the cooking time would take too long on school mornings. Thanks!
I have yet to freeze this one but since the tater tots are already frozen I think it would work well. You can also make the night before, cover it, refrigerate, and then bake in the morning.
