Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage Adds savory flavor and richness; can substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • 1 bag frozen tater tots Provides a crispy base; no direct substitution recommended, but homemade hash browns can be used.
  • 6 large eggs Binds the dish and adds protein; use egg substitutes or flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup milk Brings creaminess; can substitute with almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds flavor and gooey texture; swap for mozzarella or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; adjust to taste based on preference.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Adds a hint of spice; can omit or substitute with white pepper for a milder flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Contributes depth of flavor; fresh minced garlic can be used for stronger taste.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • large skillet
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add cooked sausage, tater tots, and cheddar cheese to the egg mixture, stirring gently to avoid mashing tater tots.
  5. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the mixture into it, spreading evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
  7. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
