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

Scale
  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hot breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains.
  3. Drain excess fat from the cooked sausage and return the meat to the pan briefly to crisp the edges if desired.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together the frozen tater tots, cooked sausage, 1 1/2 cups cheddar, and 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  5. Spread the tater tot mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
  6. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tot layer.
  8. Cover and refrigerate if baking later.
  9. Bake uncovered for 60–70 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges of the tots are golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For less heat, use mild sausage and adjust pepper to taste. This dish can be assembled the night before and refrigerated overnight.
