Ingredients:
- 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (or bacon, diced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. If using bacon, cook until crispy and then chop into pieces. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Prepare Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Layer Ingredients: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the frozen tater tots in an even layer. Sprinkle the cooked sausage (or bacon) over the tater tots, followed by the sautéed onions and bell peppers.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the sausage and vegetable layer.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish, making sure it covers all the ingredients evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Slice and serve warm.
