Ingredients
  

1 (32 oz) bag of frozen tater tots

1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled

8 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6-8 strips)

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until it is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together well. Add the whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.

        Layer the Casserole: In the greased baking dish, spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom. Next, sprinkle the cooked sausage over the tater tots. Then, layer the cooked bacon, followed by the chopped green onions and both cheeses, mixing the layers slightly.

          Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture over the entire casserole, ensuring it evenly covers all the ingredients.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cracked Out Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole!
