Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon and Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious breakfast casserole.
Step 2
In a large skillet, toss in your diced bacon and cook it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Stir occasionally, allowing the bacon to sizzle and turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Once it’s perfectly cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels to soak up any excess grease, leaving you with crispy, flavorful bites.
Step 5
Now, spread that delicious bacon evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a savory foundation for your casserole.
Step 6
Next, layer frozen tater tots over the bacon, ensuring they cover it completely—this will add a delightful crunch to every bite.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until everything is well blended.
Step 8
Pour this creamy egg mixture over the tater tots, letting it seep in and bind all the flavors together.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top, because who doesn’t love a cheesy finish? Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 hour.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s ready when the center is hot and the cheese is bubbly and golden, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 11
Once it’s out of the oven, allow it to cool slightly before slicing into this hearty breakfast delight.
Step 12
Serve it hot and enjoy every delicious bite of your homemade breakfast casserole!.
