TATER TOT SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
I love breakfast casseroles. This one is especially good because I love tater tots. I know. Generally, I eat healthily but there is something about crispy, salty tater tots that gets me.
And, tater tots combined with all my favorite breakfast foods: sausage, eggs, and cheese ….. yeah, I’ll give it five stars every time!
Here’s what you need to make this breakfast casserole.
The full recipe is at the bottom of the post along with the amounts and instructions. You can save it to your personal recipe box so that you’ll never misplace it.
- Sausage. I use mild breakfast sausage, but you can use any flavor, including hot.
- Tater tots. You can substitute hash browns.
- Shallots. You can omit it or substitute yellow onion or green onions.
- Salt and pepper.
- Eggs. You can add more or less depending on how ‘eggy’ you want it.
- Cheese. Feel free to use any melty cheese. Pepperjack or Havarti is good, too.
- Milk. I used whole milk, but you can also use 1% or 2% milk. I haven’t tried it with cashew or almond milk.
Tips for your Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole
- First, add a little ground red pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Green, red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, hatch chili, or jalapeno are good additions to this casserole.
- As well, if you want to sneak a vegetable in for the family, grate one zucchini and mix it in. I would add it in step four.
- Or, you can add a cup of fresh spinach for more nutrients.
- For more flavor, you can also add garlic powder or onion powder. I don’t particularly care for these flavors for breakfast. You may want to start with 1/4 teaspoon and see how you like it.
- Finally, you can double or half this recipe, depending on how many folks you want to feed.
How do I serve tater tot casserole?
- I like to serve it with fruit. Typically, I use whatever I have on hand. If I plan, I like to make this Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad.
- It’s also good with Buckwheat Waffles.
- As well, you can serve it with diced avocado and tomato. Frankly, avocado and tomato are good on almost everything.
