How To Make Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

To make this tater tot hotdish, start by browning your sausage over medium heat in a large skillet or in the microwave. Cut and spread the sausage into a greased casserole pan.

Next, mix the milk, eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl and pour them over the sausage in the baking dish.

Now it is time to sprinkle on the cheddar cheese. If you will be serving this the next morning like I did, cover and refrigerate at this point. You will be performing the next steps in the morning.

Spread the tater tots on top of the cheese layer.

Add the remainder of the cheese on top and bake.

This tater tot casserole did not last long when I served it. I was lucky to snatch up a piece and it was SO good. The flavor can't be beat!

Tips For Sausage Tater Tot Casserole

Tip 2: No need to thaw the tater tots before using them. Just spread them evenly over the cheese layer.

Tip 3: Feel free to add veggies like onions or mushrooms to bulk up the casserole and add extra flavor.
