Ingredients You Need To Make My Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole:
Tater Tots - You'll need one 28 ounce bag of frozen tater tots.
Breakfast Sausage - I like to use the Jimmy Dean breakfast pork sausage. You can use your favorite breakfast sausage. You'll need one pound.

Peppers - Red and green bell peppers. About a half cup of each - chopped.
Onions - Yellow, sweet or white onion. About a half cup chopped.
Eggs - You'll need eight eggs.
Green Onions - This is an optional garnish but I think it adds a delicious fresh flavor! If you want to use it, you'll need about 1 - 2 stalks chopped.
Salt & Black Pepper - To season the eggs.
Tools to have on hand for this recipe:
- Baking Dish 9x13 - To bake the casserole in.

How To Make The Best Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole:

Whisk the eggs together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour eggs evenly over the sausage. Sprinkle top evenly with shredded cheese.
Arrange tater tots on top and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 40-45 minutes.
