Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage
  • 1 bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 12 eggs
  • 10.75 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded and divided
  • 32 oz frozen tater tots

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until almost cooked through. Add bell pepper, onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook till the veggies are tender and meat is cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes. Drain the grease and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, cream of mushroom soup, milk and 1 cup of the cheese.
  • Add the sausage-veggies mixture and mix well. Pour contents into prepared the baking dish. Drop in the tater tots. (If prepping the night before, leave out the tater tots until just before baking.)
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 55 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked through. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add up to 1 cup extra of veggies for added flavor and texture.
  • Up to 1 cup of chopped bacon or turkey bacon can be added to the recipe. This is a great option for adding extra protein.
  • Consider adding a bit of spice to this cheesy tater tot casserole by adding cayenne pepper (1/2 tsp), a few splashed of hot sauce or a can of green chiles.
