Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen tater tots, thawed
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange the thawed tater tots in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spread the cooked and drained sausage evenly over the tater tots.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage layer.
  6. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges are lightly browned.
  8. Remove the casserole from the oven. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and the sour cream, if using.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  10. Let the cheesy potato bake rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sauté the onion and bell pepper with the sausage before assembling the casserole.
  • You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage if you prefer a leaner option.
  • This casserole reheats well; cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to three days.
