 Tater Tot Casserole

My favorite thing about this breakfast casserole with tater tots is that you can prepare it the night before, place in the refrigerator and bake it up in the morning. Breakfast really doesn’t get much easier than that.

 This dish starts with browned sausage that is cut and spread into a greased casserole dish.

Next, you’ll mix the milk, eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl and pour them over the sausage in the casserole dish.

Now it is time to add your 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.

    Agree! I am SOOOO frustrated right now!! This casserole has been in the oven for 40 minutes and it is STILL soupy!! My family is hungry. They have been patiently waiting. 😩 I’m disgusted! One cup of milk is WAY TOO MUCH milk for 6 eggs!!!!! Horrible experience with this recipe!!! And I hate to cook! I was trying to do something nice for my family while we quarantine over this deadly virus. 😩😩😩
