Ingredients 

• 8 large eggs
• 1 pound turkey breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your preference) 
• 1 ½ cups whole milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)
• 24 oz frozen tater tots (about ¾ of a 32 oz bag)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Cook the sausage:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles.
   • Once fully cooked, drain excess grease and set sausage aside.
3. Prepare the egg mixture:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or heavy cream), salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
4. Assemble the casserole:
   • Layer frozen tater tots evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
   • Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the tater tots.
   • Add cheddar cheese on top of the sausage.
   • Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
5. Bake:
   • Cover the dish with foil to prevent the edges from overcooking.
   • Bake for 40 minutes.
   • Remove the foil, and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the center is fully set and eggs are cooked through.
   • Tip: Check for doneness around 40-45 minutes, as oven times may vary.
6. Serve hot:
   • Enjoy as is, or top with sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes for extra flavor!

Notes

• You may need to buy a 32 oz bag of tater tots and use only part of it (about 24 oz).
• Perfect to prep the night before and bake fresh in the morning!
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat as needed.
