A hearty and delicious Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole combining crispy tater tots, savory breakfast sausage, and melted cheese, baked to perfection with a fluffy egg and milk mixture. Perfect for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Cheese

  • 2 lb hot breakfast sausage
  • 1–1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Tater Tots

  • 1 (30-32 oz) bag frozen tater tots

Egg Mixture

  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the hot breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and no longer pink inside. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the cooked sausage, frozen tater tots, shredded cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well combined. Transfer this mixture evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch pan.
  4. Make Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully blended and smooth.
  5. Pour Egg Mixture: Evenly pour the egg mixture over the tater tot and sausage mixture in the pan, ensuring it covers the entire dish.
  6. Optional Refrigeration: If you want to bake the casserole later, cover the dish and refrigerate it at this point.
  7. Bake: Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tater tots are golden and crispy on top.

Notes

  • You can prepare this casserole the night before by combining all ingredients and refrigerating overnight before baking.
  • Adjust sausage spiciness by using mild or spicy breakfast sausage according to taste.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions or bell peppers to the sausage while cooking.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking before slicing to allow it to firm up.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings; use a bigger baking dish accordingly.
