Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bacon
- ½ cup Finely chopped white onion
- 8 ounces Breakfast sausage 8 links
- 32 ounces Frozen tater tots
- 10 Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ cup Sour cream
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley flakes
- 1 1/2 cup Freshly shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 1/2 cup Freshly shredded pepper jack cheese divided
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and grease an 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp (*Pro Tip: cut bacon with kitchen scissors as you put it into the hot skillet. Cooks faster and no chopping later!). Set aside. Wipe most of the grease out of the skillet. Add chopped onion and sausage and cook until sausage is no longer pink. Drain grease from the skillet and stir in the bacon.
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, 1 cup of each kind of cheese and seasonings. Set aside.
- Arrange frozen tater tots in the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with sausage mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the meat in the baking dish. Top with additional shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until eggs are set and top is golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh minced parsley or sliced green onions. Cool for several minutes, slice into squares and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Make Ahead: You can whisk the egg mixture together ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to bake, pour it over the tater tots in the baking dish and bake as directed.
Storage: Cool casserole completely, then cover tightly and store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: Allow casserole to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place into a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave on 50% heat. It may be helpful to wrap in a damp paper towel to keep the casserole from drying out. You can also freeze individual servings, thaw overnight and reheat in the morning for a quick breakfast. If frozen, thaw completely before reheating. If reheating in the oven, cover with foil to keep it from drying out.
