How to Make Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
  4. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 4 cups tater tots until evenly coated.
  5. In a separate skillet, cook 1 pound breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain well and add to the tater tot mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  8. Spread the topping evenly.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
