Ingredients
- For the Gravy Base
- 1 lb gluten-free breakfast sausage
- 1 cup riced cauliflower (optional)
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend
- 2½ cups milk (any variety)
- 1 teaspoon homemade seasoned salt
- 1–2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- For the Topping
- 1 (30 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- Chopped green onions (optional)
- Extra black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to tater tot package directions (usually 425°F / 220°C).
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sausage and cauliflower, breaking meat into small pieces. Cook until no pink remains, about 5–7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle flour over the meat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Slowly whisk in milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and arrange tater tots in a circular pattern on top.
- Bake according to tater tot package instructions until golden and crispy.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with green onions and extra pepper if desired.
Notes
- Use room-temperature milk for the smoothest gravy.
- Do not over-thicken the gravy before baking.
- Some tater tots sinking into the gravy is normal.
- Adjust black pepper to taste.
- Let casserole rest before serving for best texture.
