Tater Tot Casserole
All time favorite breakfast casserole that’s perfect for any meal. Layered goodness of tater tots, sausage, cheese, and eggs! You are going to love it!
I’m a lover of make ahead dishes! They are so easy to make and the taste is amazing. Bonus! Less dishes!
TIPS AND TRICKS
- PROTEIN: I used sausage for my casserole but if you don’t love sausage, you can use a different meat. I think ham, bacon or leave out the meat, it will be fabulous!
- TATER TOTS: My tater tots were frozen. If your tots are thawed, cut down on the time a little.
- VEGETABLES: This recipe calls for a green bell pepper, you can leave out the pepper or you can even add a couple of handfuls of baby spinach.
- MAKE AHEAD: This works well if you make it the night before or you can cook it right away.
- STORAGE: If you have leftovers, place it in an airtight container or you can freeze it up to 2 months.
