Ingredients
Scale
1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots
1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
10 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the tater tots.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and tater tots.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a crispier topping, bake the casserole uncovered.
You can prepare this casserole the night before. Assemble all ingredients except the final cheese layer, cover, and refrigerate. Add the cheese and bake in the morning, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
