Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
Tater tots with meaty, cheesy eggs makes this Tater TotBreakfast Casserole a crowd-pleasing comfort food!
Ingredients
- 12-16 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil if needed
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 Bell pepper chopped (frozen is okay)
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup reduced fat milk or skim or full fat
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon dried Italian Seasoning
- 2 cups sharp cheddar grated (or your favorite hard cheese)
- 16 ounces tater tots approximate and may vary with pan size
Instructions
- Heat an oven proof skillet (see notes for pan alternatives), then sautee the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks, until cooked through. Leave a tablespoon or two of oil in the pan for cooking the vegetables, then pour off any excess oil.
- Pour in a tablespoon of oil if needed, then add the chopped onion and pepper and sautee until tender.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Add the beaten eggs, cheese oregano, and salt to the sausage mixture, then stir to combine.
- Place tater tots in concentric circles as the top layer of the casserole, starting at the outermost ring and moving inwards.
- Bake at 350 F for 45-60 minutes until cooked through and browned. If the tater tots aren’t browning, turn up the heat briefly to 400 to finish.
Notes
If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you can sautee the vegetables and sausage first, then transfer to a baking dish before baking.
