HOW DO YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE?
Cook your sausage and bacon in a skillet. Place a layer of tater tots in a single layer 9X13 inch baking dish. Mix together your egg mixture and throw in the sausage and bacon. Then pour it over the tots and bake! Et Voila!.
The egg mixture thickens in the oven, creating a delicious, gooey combination of crisp potatoes and bubbly cheese. The savory flavors are a perfect compliment to a sweet side. Try our Blueberry Coffee Cake to create the perfect, classic breakfast duo.
CAN YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE AHEAD OF TIME?
Absolutely! This recipe is fantastic for a make-ahead dish. Whether you’re prepping for breakfast the next day or making a large batch to take to a brunch, it’s very easy to assemble.
It can be whipped up at any time and kept in the fridge for 24-48 hours before baking. I do recommend baking it within the first 24 for taste.
Safety Tip: Our version contains raw eggs, as many of them do, so be sure to keep it well covered and separate from other foods. Safety first, friends!
CAN YOU FREEZE TATER TOT CASSEROLE?
You sure can! The freezing ability of casseroles reigns far above most foods. They freeze well. The best part is that when you take them out, thaw, heat and consume…they taste just as good!
Here’s How: After baking, place your casserole or leftover portions, into a freezer safe container and freeze away! I like to divide it up into a few smaller, individual servings, so I can just take it out and warm it in the microwave anytime I’m looking for a quick, easy breakfast!
Safety Tip: Casseroles with cooked eggs should not be stored for longer than 3 months. Don’t worry though, it will never take you that long to eat it. Check out these fantastic guidelines on freezing food and storage time.
CAN YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE IN THE CROCKPOT?
We all love the crockpot for one reason: convenience. It helps us live life a little more simply. It’s a great convenience having breakfast ready to go when you’re trying to get the family out the door in the morning. It’s almost as fantastic as being home alone with a king-sized Toblerone and a Gilmore Girls marathon.
All you have to do to make this happen is to get up early. You don’t even have to stay up. You can stumble joyously back to bed, knowing that breakfast for your family will be ready when they all wake up!
CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS;
Follow the recipe instructions as listed below, but combine in your slow cooker instead of a casserole dish.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5.
Oh, and as just a little side note, Check out the photo above. This is my favorite part of this whole dish! The amazing crispy edges!!!
I’m telling you this dish is perfection!
RECIPE NOTES FOR TATER TOT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE:
Versatile: One of my favorite parts about this tater tot breakfast casserole is that the flavors are completely interchangeable! Leftover work great!
Our tater tot breakfast casserole recipe is also incredibly easy to lighten. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious as is, but you’ll see yet another change in flavor if you try chicken sausage, turkey bacon, or even skim milk!
Make it Vegetarian: Making a vegetarian version is easy. Omit the bacon and sausage (obviously) and add cooked vegetables. Trust me when I say that you can literally add almost any vegetable to this dish to create the ultimate tater tot breakfast casserole no meat version! Diced bell peppers, tomatoes, fresh spinach and even broccoli are just a few examples of fresh veggies that complement the taters…and please the tots. Kids LOVE the veggie version. You can even attempt the tater tot casserole sausage fake out. Use Morningstar Farms sausage crumbles!
Simplicity: No matter how you decide to make this dish, the fact that the tater tots can go right into the pan from the freezer, and that it can be prepped in advance or made completely in the same day, makes it incredibly appealing for not only weekday breakfasts, but for large events as well!
