Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

The milk is the secret to keeping this casserole moist, although you can change up the milk and egg ratio to suit your own taste. I only use 1 lb. of sausage since I don't like meals that are too heavy on the meat, but you can easily use more sausage if you prefer. Also, instead of sausage, you could use diced ham or cooked and crumbled bacon.

Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

1 (4 lb.) bag frozen tater tots
1 lb. tube turkey breakfast sausage, browned and drained
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
4 cups milk
1 1/2 to 2 tsp salt (to taste)

Preheat oven to 375* F. Spray a 15x10-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Evenly spread the tater tots in the bottom of the dish. Layer the cooked sausage over top. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the sausage. In a bowl, whisk the eggs milk and salt together. Pour evenly over top of the tater tot mixture. Bake @ 375* F uncovered for 45-55 minutes, making sure the egg mixture is no longer runny. This can also be made the night before, covered and chilled, then baked the next morning if you prefer, although you may need to bake it a few minutes longer. Just keep checking on it towards the end of the baking time.
