Tater Tot Casserole for the Win!
Doesn’t everybody love Tater Tots? Especially when combined with bacon, sausage, eggs and cheese? This breakfast casserole recipe is a KEEPER! I love the way the frozen tater tots bring texture and heartiness to this casserole (without having to cook anything). Then you stir in your favorite sausage and bacon, pour the eggs and cheese over the top, bake and… TA-DA! Breakfast is done.

One thing my family loved was the flavor of the Lutz’s Ranch Chipotle Dressing mix that I added. It gives the casserole a nice kick and adds some extra flavor that you won’t get from eggs and meat alone. This recipe could easily be made healthier or low-carb with chopped bell peppers, turkey sausage or turkey bacon in place of the regular, and you could even try the new cauliflower tots!
Make Now, Bake Later
Here’s what I really love: This recipe is a perfect make-ahead breakfast option. Simply pre-cook all of your meats and store them in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer. When you’re ready for a casserole, combine your cold ingredients, whip up your egg mixture, and bake for 45 minutes.

Don’t love chipotle? Then maybe Jan’s Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Casserole is more your speed. Or try the tater tot recipe with just ranch seasoning. Either way, there are no more excuses for eating cereal for breakfast!
