I love a good breakfast casserole. I love to have them for breakfast or for dinner. Today, I’m sharing an easy tater tot breakfast casserole. I love the use of the tater tots in this instead of shredded or cubed hash browns. It gives you pockets of potatoes throughout the dish surrounded by eggs.
Cook and crumble bacon, then sprinkle it over the tater tots. However, you could always swap it out for cooked sausage or ham if you would like. Or you could even use a combination of any of those three.
The egg mixture used in this is pretty basic. It’s a dozen eggs along with shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the tater tots and bacon. Then the whole thing gets a sprinkling of more cheese on top.
Next, it the tater tot breakfast casserole bakes in the oven. It bakes at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until the eggs are set. You don’t want them jiggly. To finish this off, you could always sprinkle a little a green onion on each serving if you’d like. Serve it with some fresh fruit or toast.
