Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Bake Recipes

CHEESY TATER TOT® BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool.
• Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add sausage. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Crumble cooled bacon.
• Place potato nuggets in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, distributed evenly. Drizzle evenly with melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of Colby-Jack cheese.
• Mix eggs, milk, onion, 1/2 of the bacon and sausage, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour into the baking dish. Add remaining Colby-Jack cheese, bacon, and sausage.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and cheese is melted, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

CHEESY BACON TATER TOTS®

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until crispy on both sides, about 10 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside, keeping the bacon grease in the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add potato nuggets to the skillet. Season with garlic salt and toss until evenly coated. Cook until the outsides are crisp, about 10 minutes, turning carefully with a spatula once or twice. Remove the skillet from heat.
• Carefully remove 1/2 of the potato nuggets from the skillet and spread out remaining nuggets in a single layer. Top with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese. Place remaining nuggets on top of the cheese and top with remaining cheese.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until nuggets are warmed through and the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• While the nuggets are baking, crumble the cooked bacon. Remove the skillet from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions.
