Tater Tot Egg Bake

We LOVE a good breakfast casserole – they’re easy and filling, perfect for feeding our family.

We especially love this savory tater tot breakfast casserole packed with BOTH Bacon and Breakfast Sausage!! Double the breakfast meats mean double the flavor! And what kid doesn’t like tater tots? Cheesy potatoes are something we all can get behind.

This casserole is basically all the things you love about breakfast mixed into one pan – a little of everything all in one bite.

With just 5 minutes of prep, it’s a hearty, filling, no-fuss way to start the day with a bang!

WHY WE LOVE IT:

  • Perfect for a crowd. This breakfast casserole makes a 9×13 pan-full, serving about 12 people!
  • A twist on a favorite. We turned our Tater Tot Casserole (a favorite side) into a delicious breakfast.
  • Packed with flavor. It’s filled with potatoes, cheese, eggs, and TWO kinds of breakfast meat (bacon and sausage) for all of your favorites in one bite!

    I made this recipe but made 1/2 added two eggs, cheddar and a Mexican blend. Looks delicious! 😊

    For only four people (3 male appreciate) l’m going to cut down to a quarter next time. Very filling and delicious. Wish I could send photos. 📸

      1. Tammy Nichols says:

        Do you cook the sausage before you put it in the casserole?

      2. Lil'Luna Team says:

        Great question! We use the pre-cooked sausage crumbles (Jimmy Dean has some good options). But if you want to use raw sausage, yes, you’ll want to cook that up before putting in the casserole.
