Ultimate Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

• Tater tots (1 pound (frozen))
• Breakfast sausage (1 pound, crumbled)
• Cheddar cheese (2 cups, shredded (divided))
• Eggs (8 large)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Green onions (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Spread the frozen tater tots out evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large skillet, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and spread the sausage evenly over the layer of tater tots.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and tater tots, ensuring everything is covered.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole for a cheesy finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
