How to Make Bacon And Tater Tots Crock Pot Breakfast

  1. Preheat your crock-pot to low.
  2. In a 4-5 quart crock-pot, layer ingredients in this order: 1/3 of the tater tots (1 cup), 1/2 cup bacon (cooked and crumbled), 1/4 cup chopped onions, 1/4 cup chopped green bell peppers, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Repeat layers two more times, ending with the remaining cheese.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  5. Season the egg mixture generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crock-pot.
  7. Cover the crock-pot and cook on low for 4-8 hours, or on high for 2-4 hours, or until the tater tots are tender and the eggs are set. Cooking time may vary depending on your crock-pot.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
