Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole - Food Fun Friday

Pin It
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole - simple to make. I prepared it the night before and just popped it in the oven in the morning. Delicious, warm and CHEESY!

Most mornings my breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea. So a hot breakfast is always a treat for me. I rarely make it for myself, but when I have a breakfast meeting or potluck, I love to make a breakfast casserole. In the past I have made a Cheesy Breakfast Bacon Casserole and a Hash Brown Casserole. Today, I decided to try a Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole. Tater tots, eggs, cheese...what's not to love?


Ingredients:
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 packages of 10 oz sausage links
  • 1 cup milk
  • 16 oz Tater tots
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheese (we used a cheddar and jack mix)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper

Ingredients for breakfast casserole

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Brown sausage according to package directions and cut into bit sized pieces. Spread cooked and cut sausage onto greased casserole dish.

In a large bowl, beat together milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Cover the sausage in the casserole dish with the egg mixture.

Cover with one cup of cheese. If you will be serving this the next morning like I did, cover and refrigerate at this point. You will be performing the next steps in the morning. 

breakfast for potluck

Spread 16 oz of tater tots on top of the cheese.

Add the remainder of the cheese on top.

Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. This did not last long at my breakfast meeting. I was lucky to snatch up a piece and it was SO good. I will be making this again soon!

  2. Not sure what I did wrong but 40 minutes definitely wasn't long enough. I had to cook another 30 minutes for the eggs to be done. Otherwise delicious!

  3. Do you cook the tater tots first?

  4. I didn't cook the tots first. Was I supposed to?
