HOW DO YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE?

Cook your sausage and bacon in a skillet. Place a layer of tater tots in a single layer 9X13 inch baking dish. Mix together your egg mixture and throw in the sausage and bacon. Then pour it over the tots and bake! Et Voila!.
The egg mixture thickens in the oven, creating a delicious, gooey combination of crisp potatoes and bubbly cheese. The savory flavors are a perfect compliment to a sweet side. Try our Blueberry Coffee Cake to create the perfect, classic breakfast duo.

CAN YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE AHEAD OF TIME?

Absolutely! This recipe is fantastic for a make-ahead dish. Whether you’re prepping for breakfast the next day or making a large batch to take to a brunch, it’s very easy to assemble.
It can be whipped up at any time and kept in the fridge for 24-48 hours before baking. I do recommend baking it within the first 24 for taste.
Safety Tip: Our version contains raw eggs, as many of them do, so be sure to keep it well covered and separate from other foods. Safety first, friends!

CAN YOU FREEZE TATER TOT CASSEROLE?

You sure can!  The freezing ability of casseroles reigns far above most foods. They freeze well. The best part is that when you take them out, thaw, heat and consume…they taste just as good!
Here’s How: After baking, place your casserole or leftover portions, into a freezer safe container and freeze away!  I like to divide it up into a few smaller, individual servings, so I can just take it out and warm it in the microwave anytime I’m looking for a quick, easy breakfast!
Safety Tip: Casseroles with cooked eggs should not be stored for longer than 3 months. Don’t worry though, it will never take you that long to eat it. Check out these fantastic guidelines on freezing food and storage time.

CAN YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE IN THE CROCKPOT?

We all love the crockpot for one reason: convenience. It helps us live life a little more simply. It’s a great convenience having breakfast ready to go when you’re trying to get the family out the door in the morning. It’s almost as fantastic as being home alone with a king-sized Toblerone and a Gilmore Girls marathon.
