Tater Tot Casserole with Sausage

Whether it is breakfast, brunch or dinner, this tater tot casserole is comfort food that everyone wants.

Ingredients

    • 1 lb (450 g) ground mild pork breakfast sausage
    • 1 pkg (12 oz/340g) frozen chopped onions and bell peppers (see Cook’s tip)
    • 6 eggs
    • 1 cup (250 mL) half & half
    • 8 oz (250 g) Monterrey jack cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups/500 mL), divided
    • ½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
    • 1 bag (32 oz or 800 g) frozen tater tots
    • Optional toppings: sliced green onions and salsa

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C)
  2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles. Add the frozen chopped vegetables and continue cooking over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink, and vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, half & half, half of the grated cheese, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Place the sausage mixture in the bottom of the Stone Rectangular Baker, pour the egg mixture on top, and arrange the tater tots in a single layer. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.
  6. Top with green onions, if using and serve with salsa, if you’d like.
