\nPreparation:<\/strong>
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. This will ensure that your casserole doesn\u2019t stick to the pan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nCooking the Meat:<\/strong>
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it\u2019s browned and fully cooked. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into pieces as it cooks. If you\u2019re using bacon, cook it until crisp; if using ham, simply chop it into bite-sized pieces and lightly brown it. Once cooked, transfer the meat to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess fat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSaut\u00e9ing Vegetables:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Saut\u00e9 them over medium heat until they become soft and translucent, about 5\u20137 minutes. This step adds an extra layer of flavor to the casserole.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Layering the Casserole:<\/strong>
Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the saut\u00e9ed onions and peppers, spreading them out evenly over the sausage. Top with the shredded cheese, ensuring every bite will have gooey cheese goodness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Adding the Tater Tots:<\/strong>
Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer over the cheese. They will form a crispy, golden crust on top of your casserole as they bake.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Mixing the Egg Mixture:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the seasonings are well distributed.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Pouring and Baking:<\/strong>
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the tater tots in the baking dish. Try to cover them evenly as the mixture will seep in during the baking process. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45\u201350 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden-brown.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Cooling and Serving:<\/strong>
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will make it easier to serve.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/span>Conclusion:<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd there you have it!
