Ingredients

4 slices bacon
1 pound breakfast sausage
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese divided
1 cup milk
8 eggs
3 green onions thinly sliced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 pounds frozen tater tots
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place cooked bacon on a layer of paper towels to drain excess grease and set aside.
Drain fat from the skillet and return the skillet to the heat. Cook the sausage in the same skillet, breaking it into small pieces and stirring occasionally until fully cooked. Drain cooked sausage on paper towels and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180° and lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese, milk, eggs, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Place half of the tater tots in an even layer on the bottom of the dish. Spread the cooked sausage on top of the tater tots.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage layer. Top with a single layer of the remaining tater tots. Sprinkle over the cooked bacon and the remaining cheese.
Bake the casserole for 40 minutes, or until the eggs have set. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using.

Notes

Check the casserole at the 30-minute mark. Cover it loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil if it browns too quickly while baking.

This casserole is a great make-ahead breakfast. Make a batch of this casserole, keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat individual portions.
