Description

This Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl is the ultimate hearty breakfast, combining crispy tater tots with savory sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of cheese. It’s a deliciously comforting start to the day, perfect for lazy mornings or feeding a crowd!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the tater tots according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. While the gravy cooks, fry or scramble the eggs to your preference.
  6. To assemble the breakfast bowls, divide the crispy tater tots among serving bowls.
  7. Top with sausage gravy, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked eggs.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot, with hot sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Add sautéed vegetables like peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Swap sausage for turkey sausage or bacon for a lighter version.
  • Make it a bit spicier by adding hot sauce or jalapeños to the gravy.
  • Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat with a splash of milk.
