Easy, savory, and ready to shine on your brunch table, this casserole has all our favorite ingredients: sausage, cheese, potatoes covered in a rich egg custard.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green pepper
- 5 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk buttermilk works perfectly
- 1/2 tsp season salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Tater Tots
- 4-6 slices bacon crisply cooked
Instructions
- Grease a 7 x 11′” rectangular baking dish and set aside.
- In a skillet, add some olive oil and cook the sausage until no pink remains.
- Drain and remove from heat, reserving a teaspoon of the drippings.
- Sauté the peppers and onions until soft.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, season salt and pepper.
- Put the sausage and vegetables in the bottom of the baking dish, top with half of the cheddar cheese.
- Add the Tater Tots in a single layer on top.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the casserole dish so all the tater tots are covered.
- Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Add the remaining cheese and return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until everything is golden brown and bubbling.
- Top with the bacon and serve.
Notes
For a healthier brunch, use turkey sausage instead of pork.
If you don't have bacon, don't worry, the casserole is perfect without it.
