Several variants of “Tater Tot casserole” have crispy tots on top. Traditional Midwestern hotdish has many variations. Breakfast versions include eggs, sausage, and cheese.
Our five-ingredient one-pan breakfast casserole cooks in under an hour. To make the casserole, brown and fry sausage in a big skillet, sprinkle with shredded cheese, pour eggs and milk over both, top with frozen Tater Tots, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until set.
It can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for five days, saving you time in the morning. Although termed a breakfast casserole, this recipe is delicious any time of day. Enjoy wedges for lunch or breakfast-for-dinner with a green salad or roasted vegetable.
Customize This Casserole Each of the greatest recipes is adaptable:
Unlike most Tater Tot casseroles, this one lacks vegetables. You can add one, though. Sauté chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or sausage.
Hot or sweet Italian sausage or Mexican chorizo are spicy alternatives to breakfast sausage. Chicken, turkey, or beef sausage can replace pork sausage.
Instead of cheddar, try shredded mozzarella, pepper Jack, or Mexican or Italian cheese blends. Frozen sweet potato tots are also fun.
