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
- Cook the tater tots according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.
- 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.
- While the gravy cooks, fry or scramble the eggs to your preference.
- To assemble the breakfast bowls, divide the crispy tater tots among serving bowls.
- Top with sausage gravy, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked eggs.
- 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.
