Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 bag 32 ounces frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Method
 

  1. Cook breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbled, about 8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread cooked sausage evenly in the bottom, then sprinkle with diced bell pepper and 1 cup of the cheese.
  3. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top, covering the entire surface.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
  5. Pour egg mixture evenly over the tater tots, then sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top.
  6. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  7. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and let casserole sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  8. Bake covered for 35 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until tater tots are golden and crispy and eggs are set.
  9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
