Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

When you have to feed breakfast to a big group of people, breakfast casseroles are a great way to do it. Instead of standing there over the stove, flipping pancake after pancake, all you have to do is fill one big casserole dish, pop it in the oven, and pull out a hot, delicious breakfast for the whole crowd.

All breakfast casseroles are based on the same basic idea: combine some sort of protein (meat, eggs, cheese, or all three) with some sort of starch (biscuits, rolls, or even tortillas) and bake it all in one pan. I’ve made tons of different breakfast casseroles over the years: Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole, Cheesy Egg Crescent Casserole, and Breakfast Enchilada Overnight Bake, to name a few.

This Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is a super hearty breakfast that will satisfy a big crowd in every way. It’ll fill their tummies, and bring smiles to their faces – and leave you plenty of time to spend with your guests.

Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powder.

   

3. Slice sausage into 1/2-inch slices. Add to egg mixture. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

   

4. In a separate bowl, mix together cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
5. Stir 1/2 of cheese into egg mixture and pour egg mixture into baking pan. Place tater tots evenly on top or egg mixture.

   

6. Place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Place back in oven for 5 minutes until cheese has melted.
