Ingredients
- 1 lb. bulk breakfast sausage (I used spicy)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil for frying
- 2 Tablespoons onion-very finely diced
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (more or less- to taste)
- salt to taste (1/8- ¼ teaspoon)
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ½ cups (10 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese- divided
- about 2 lb. frozen tater tots
- 4 slices of bacon-cooked and crumbled
- 2–3 green onion-thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a skillet greased with olive oil, place the sausage and onion. Break the sausage up with a wooden spoon and cook over medium heat until browned and cook through. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray 13 x 9-inch casserole with cooking spray.
- Layer cooked sausage into baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese.
- In a bowl whisk 3 eggs, milk, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper and pour the mixture over cheese and sausage.
- Layer frozen tater tots on top. At this point you can cover casserole with aluminum foil and place in the fridge over night or bake immediately.
- Bake uncovered about 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with crumbled cooked bacon and remaining ½ cup of cheese. Bake additional 5-8 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and sprinkle with sliced green onion before serving.
