A few tater tot recipe tips:

This tasty breakfast casserole comes together in no time! Here are some tips and tricks if you want to take this casserole to the next level!

• Add green onions or tomatoes to give your casserole a santa fe vibe.
• For a little more kick, I highly suggest using Pepper Jack Cheese in lieu of cheddar. In the photo above, I also added green onions on top of the tater tots before finishing with more cheese.
• If you want less fat you can switch the sausage with turkey breakfast sausage.

Can you make Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole Ahead of Time?

Yes, you absolutely can make your Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole ahead of time. To ensure that you don’t have soggy tater tots, I like to make the egg and sausage filling and pour it in the dish that I plan to use when serving. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake it. When that time comes, just place the tater tots on top, and continue with the cooking instructions provided below.

Storage And Reheating:

Storage – The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or in a regular dish tightly covered with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a month! Make sure that the casserole has cooled completely before storing.

Reheating – You can reheat the casserole back into the oven at 350F or into the microwave for 2-3 minutes!
