Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole is quick, easy, and uses only a few simple ingredients for a one pot dish perfect for breakfast and brunch.
This Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole is perfect! It’s so simple to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand and is beyond delicious!
Are you like me and only cook in cast iron? In our kitchen we mostly use Lodge’s 10-inch and 12-inch cast iron skillet. But I love their 17-inch one for pizza. Check out my homemade Cast Iron Pizza. Oh my goodness! If you’ve never made pizza or a pie in a cast iron skillet, you simply must try!
How to make a Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole:
Step 1: Brown sweet sausage or spice it up with some hot sausage.
Step 2: Place the browned sausage in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3: Layer the browned sausage in the bottom of the casserole dish. This is one of my new favorite baking casserole dish that Lodge makes. Order yourself one soon and you’ll be making all sorts of great dishes in it! Buy it on Amazon.
Step 4: Sprinkle with shredded cheese, using whatever flavor you prefer. You’re welcome to even add some sauteed bell peppers and yellow onions, or spread a layer of pimento cheese on top. Oh, that would be delicious!
Step 5: Pour the egg and milk mixture over the top of the sausage and shredded cheese.
Step 6: Top with frozen tater tots. Bake for about 35 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven and then top with a little more cheese. Bake a few minutes more just to melt it and Viola! Top with some bacon and you’re ready to enjoy!

A WINNER! I made this recipe for Christmas morning and it was a HUGE hit! Several family members have already been making requests for our next family gathering. I did double the batch and had no issues. It took about 55 or so minutes because I made a double batch. I used a Pampered Chef deep 9 x 13 stone pan. This is a MUST MAKE for any meal of the day!
