I really wanted to make a full-on big breakfast this past weekend but did not want the dishes from it.  I had remembering reading a simple breakfast dish made in the oven in our local newspaper family section not too long ago. Without having the recipe handy to remember exact measurements, I wing it and it turned out so delicious!

Breakfast casseroles are really simple to make using your favorite ingredients or what you have on hand.

This took 10 minutes to prep and while the sausage was doing its thing in the skillet, the rest of the dish was prepped and ready to go.  With 30 minutes cooking time, this dish would be a perfect to take to a brunch or have ready for your guests at a holiday breakfast gathering.  

Making this Tator Tot Breakfast Casserole

You want to be sure to drain the grease from the sausage before you add it to the baking dish.

If you are a fan of crispy tator tots, turn the broiler on the last couple of minutes to toast those tators up a bit more.  

Did I mention, that you can totally make this your own creation?  Add cooked bacon or ham chunks in place of the sausage.  Change out the cheese to your favorite and add chopped up veggies.  Replace the white cheddar with pepper jack for a little more spice.

    My daughter is a big tator tot fan and I think she will really like this casserole. I love the more “grownup” flavors, too.

    I just found a bag of tater tots at the bottom of the freezer. Breakfast for dinner is sounding awfully good right now.
