Now with our crazy schedule, it is no surprise that casseroles are a go-to for me when I don’t use my crockpot. Tater Tot Casserole is one of the first dinners that Michael learned to cook on his own so it’s always been a family favorite. Isabella was the most excited to make this because it had bacon, eggs, and the tater tots in it we started to layer everything together.
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 Lb Maple Breakfast Sausage
- 15 Oz Frozen Tater Tots
- Bacon (about 6 slices)
- Trader Joes Garlic Salt Grinder
- Black Pepper
- Onion Powder
- 1 Cup Mexican cheese
- 2 Cups Milk
- 8 Eggs
How To Make Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Slice and dice your bacon to the doneness you like in a pan, remember the bacon will cook a smidge more in the oven as well.
Spray a casserole pan with a nonstick spray.
In another skillet cook your sausage until it is cooked thoroughly and drain the fat.
Spray 9X13 pan with nonstick spray (I prefer to use my homemade nonstick spray-> here) My mom is all about her metal pans but I am all about the Pyrex glass pans! I think everything comes out so much better. I have the one pictured and love it, the handles make it great for removing from the oven if you are clumsy like me!! Plus you can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order, and then the UPS man is at the door when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery! (Don’t have Prime? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

You can top with more cheese or add more cheese!!!
Lisa Balser says
Have you ever baked the night before and reheated in the morning? If so, what temp and time would you use to reheat?
Jenny says
I have not put it in the oven but we did warm it back up in the microwave as leftovers. I would do a lower temp and cover it with foil to help it from drying out.
Bill Willis says
For safety, reheat and leftovers should be brought to an internal temperature of 150°F. Typically, cover and reheat at 350° until safe internal temperature is reached.
Dani S. says
I am planning on making this today. One question i have is how much bacon should I use? It’s not listed in the ingredients, only in the actual recipe.
Jenny says
I start with about 6 slices or more depending on what I have on hand. I am adding it to the list of ingredients thank you for pointing that out.
Rose says
Can this Casserole be frozen? It’s only for one person then usually frozen to make several dinners from it.
Teri Salyers says
I make this every Sunday for my family breakfast! It’s a hit and tastes amazing.
Linda Riederer says
The instructions state use a casserole pan and also a 9 x 13 pan. Confusing. Then the 9 x 13 pan is not mentioned later. So which is it.
