Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sausage and Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, brown the ground pork sausage over medium-high heat, stirring until it's fully cooked and beautifully golden, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, drain any excess fat and evenly distribute the sausage in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 4
Next, generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer, creating a delicious foundation.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until they blend harmoniously.
Step 6
Pour this creamy mixture over the cheese in the baking dish, and if you prefer, you can let the casserole chill in the refrigerator overnight for added convenience.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to crown your creation with tater tots, arranging them evenly across the top for that perfect crunch.
Step 8
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the tater tots turn a delightful golden brown and the casserole is set.
Step 9
Once it’s out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few moments before diving in and savoring every bite of this comforting dish.
