Serves12

Cooking Vessel Size9 x 13-inch baking dish

Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 2 pounds thawed tater tots
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-heat, stirring frequently until beginning to crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel and set aside. In the same pan, over medium high-heat, brown the sausage for 5 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a spoon. Add the onion and continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes.

  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage and onion mixture to the bottom of the baking dish. Top with 2 cups of the shredded cheese.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk, salt, pepper. Pour over the sausage and cheese and then add the tater tots in a single layer on top.

  5. To bake immediately: Bake for 35 minutes, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and reserved bacon. Bake for another 10 minutes.

  6. To bake later: Cover the prepared dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature (about 20 minutes) and then bake as directed above.

  7. To serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
