This Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Bake doesn't get any easier than this! Prepped in just 20 minutes and easily made-ahead and stored for the next morning. The best part? It’s crowd-sized, so everyone can enjoy a piece (and then some)!

Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 45 mins
Yields: 10 Servingsadapted

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 pound ground breakfast sausage, no casings

2½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided

2 cups whole milk

2 extra large eggs or 3 large eggs

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ teaspoon onion powder

pinch of table salt (⅛ teaspoon)

2 pounds frozen tater tots

3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350° F.

2In a very large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat and browning it. Once cooked through, drain and layer onto the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Evenly sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese over cooked sausage.

3In a large bowl, hand-whisk together the milk, eggs, pepper, onion powder, and salt. Once mixed, pour evenly over the cheese and sausage in baking dish. Layer top with frozen tater tots. If not baking right away, cover tightly with foil and chill in the fridge until the next morning.

4Place casserole in the oven for about 35 minutes. Top with additional ½ cup cheese, cooked/crumbled bacon, and bake another 5-10 minutes or until sides are bubbling and the top is golden brown. Garnish with chopped parsley, let rest at room temp 10 minutes, and serve.

This would certainly set you up for the day. Do you remember that other Tater Tot dish, the Sierra Madre’s Firefighters Bake?
