I like it drizzled with some hot sauce, it adds some nice spice!

- 32 ounces tater tots
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place tater tots on the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle sausage over tater tots.
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, salt pepper, mustard and onions. Whisk together until well blended. Add cheese and mix again. Pour over tater tots and sausage.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
- Drizzle with some hot sauce, ketchup or whatever you like if desired.
Enjoy!

This sounds delicious!! As someone who likes their tater tots extra crispy, do you think I could bake them a few minutes before adding the rest of the casserole ingredients?

This says 12 eggs. I hope it's only 2?

@Kasey 12 eggs is accurate. This is a casserole made to feed an entire family - 2 eggs would do nothing to bind 32 oz. of tater tots and a pound of sausage. Keep in mind you would likely only eat 1/6 of the casserole as a portion which means you would only be eating approximately 2 eggs!
Also I replaced the 1/2 tsp dry mustard with 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and used Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sage Sausage. Result was DE-LI-CIOUS!!! So far our breakfast loving family has had it for Brinner, but I can see Breakfast & Brunch coming right around the corner! ;)

I am from Malaysia. Tater tots - can I know what is it? Just in case, i can't find the Tater tots, do you have other alternatives or replacements?
Kindly advice.

Possible to sub sweet onion for green onion or maybe chives?
Tina
This sounds wonderful. I'm assuming the tater tots should be thawed?

My family LOVED this breakfast dish. I did sprinkle a bit more cheese on the top 5 minutes before taking it out of the oven. Next time, I plan to add mushrooms and diced green peppers instead of the green onions. Served with chunky salsa was wonderfull. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
