- 2 cups milk
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (more or less- to taste)

- 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.
