🧡 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Super simple to prep with minimal ingredients.
  • Layers of crispy tater tots, savory sausage, bacon, and gooey cheese.
  • Make-ahead friendly – prep it the night before!
  • Perfect for feeding a crowd or family gathering.

🧾 Ingredients

  • 2 (9 oz) packages breakfast sausage links
  • 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (whole preferred)
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
  • ¼ cup green onions, plus more for garnish
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

🥣 How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned. Slice into ½-inch pieces.
  3. Cook bacon in the same skillet until crispy. Drain and crumble.
  4. Layer tater tots in a single layer in the baking dish.
  5. Whisk eggs, milk, green onions, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in cooked sausage, half the bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 cup cheddar.
  6. Pour egg mixture over the tater tots.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until the center is set.
  8. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven for 5–7 minutes until melted.
  9. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Top with remaining bacon and green onions.

🔁 Variations & Tips

  • Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or swap Monterey Jack for pepper jack.
  • Switch the protein: Try ham, turkey sausage, or vegetarian options.
  • Add veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms work great.
  • Egg whites only? No problem—just swap them in.
  • Don’t skip resting time—it helps the casserole set and slice beautifully.

❄️ Make Ahead, Storage & Freezing

  • Make Ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance. Store covered in the fridge.
  • Fridge: Keeps 3–4 days in an airtight container.
  • Freezer: Wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheat: Bake in oven or microwave individual portions.
