# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
1 bag frozen tater tots (30 to 32 ounces)
02 -
2 pounds hot breakfast sausage
03 -
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 -
1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
→ Egg Custard

8 large eggs
06 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 -
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
08 -
2 cups whole milk
09 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
1 teaspoon salt
# How to Make It:
01 -
Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish and set the oven to 350°F.
02 -
Cook sausage in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat till it's brown and no longer pink. Use a meat masher to break apart clumps. Make sure to drain off any extra fat.
03 -
In a large bowl, mix the cooked sausage, frozen tater tots, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella. Toss everything together until it's all well mixed, then put it in the baking dish.
04 -
In another bowl, whisk eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until it’s smooth.
05 -
Pour the egg mixture over the tater tot and sausage mixture in the baking dish. If you're prepping ahead, cover it and pop it in the fridge or freezer.
06 -
Bake uncovered right in the middle of the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until the egg is set and the top's nice and golden. Let it rest for a bit before digging in.
# Extra Information:
01 -
To get the best texture, keep the tater tots frozen until you mix everything. You can also make this ahead and store it in the fridge or freeze it before baking.
02 -
If you're baking it straight from the fridge, you might need to add a few more minutes to the cook time. For frozen dishes, thaw it first, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes until it's heated through.
