Description
A one-pan breakfast casserole loaded with hot sausage, frozen tater tots, and two kinds of cheese, held together by a creamy egg custard.
Ingredients
- 2 lb hot breakfast sausage
- 1 (30–32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage, breaking it up, until no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat and return sausage briefly to the pan to crisp the edges if desired.
- In a large bowl, toss together frozen tater tots, cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tot layer.
- Bake uncovered for 60–70 minutes, until eggs are set and tots are golden brown.
- Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For less heat, use mild sausage and adjust pepper to taste.
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated overnight.
