TATER TOT BREAKFAST RECIPES

Steps:

• Place cooked bacon in the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan.
• Cover with tater tots.
• Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over tater tots.
• Top with cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Prepare a 12-inch, oven-safe nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet: if using ham, SPAM, or onions and mushrooms, lightly spray pan with cooking oil. If using sausage, omit the oil.
• If using ham or SPAM, no pre-cooking is necessary. If using onions and mushrooms, sauté the vegetables until tender but not mushy; remove from heat. If using sausage, cook until browned and cooked through (about 5 to 7 minutes); remove from heat but do not drain.
• Spread meat or vegetables evenly across bottom of skillet.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt (omit salt if using ham or SPAM), black pepper, and garlic powder.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese in an even layer on top of the meat or vegetables. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
• Starting at the outer edge, place frozen tater tots in a circle on top of the mixture. When that circle is complete, begin another row inside the first.
• Continue placing tater tots in concentric circles until you have reached the center of the casserole. You will not use the entire bag; reserve any extra for future use.
• Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until eggs have set.
• If desired, sprinkle with additional shredded cheese and return to oven until cheese melts (about 1 to 2 minutes).
• Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 2 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions or chives. Cut into wedges and serve.
