This Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole is crazy good! Tater tots, sausage and cheese – you can’t go wrong with that combination. I didn’t thaw the tater tots before mixing up this casserole. I just threw them in there frozen.

Delicious and filling! We made this without any changes to the recipe and it was fantastic. I will definitely be making this again!
Can you add bacon to this also
sure
Loved this for the whole family, toddlers included !
How long will leftovers keep for in the fridge after it has been made?
about 3 days
Do you think I could make 2 days in advance and keep it refrigerated or should I freeze it?
I think two days would be fine.
How long do you reheat if baking the night before
Until it is hot – probably at least 30 minutes. You can also just microwave it.
Do you need to let the tater tots thaw before using?
no
Hello!
Could you prepare and bake this the day or night before and then reheat the next day in a bbq? We are going camping and I thought that might be a better way to do it rather than waste an hour+ of propane cooking it.
Thank you!
Yes
My adult children were home for the weekend. Super easy recipe. Made it up before they came home and put it in the oven for Sunday brunch. It was a hit! I could have gotten by with one lb of sausage. Also let it sit on the stove for at least 20 minutes to let the eggs set. I will make this again!
I got distracted with everyone in the kitchen and forgot the milk! Threw it in at the last minute. It was a success with everyone. Thank you!
Do I have to let this sit overnight or an hour good?
This was delicious and made a ton! I will only use one roll of sausage next time.
Made it up last night and baked it this morning. It was very good, but a little salty. I only had the 1 tsp of salt in it, so I think it was the sausage that made it saltier. I would suggest cutting the salt in half.
Would definitely make this again!
I made this today, exactly as stated and it was delicious!! Very quick and easy to do. I will definitely make again! When you say prepare ahead of time and can freeze, that would be freezing it without the uncooked egg in it right?
no. I freeze it fully assembled and uncooked.
Curious, if I put together the night before eggs and all it will be okay in the fridge for 1 night before baking the next day?
Yes – that will be just fine.
amazing recipe!!! so easy, tasted delicious. topped with Tony Chachere seasoning and extra cheese before baking. Topped with green onions after. can’t wait to make again.
Wow, did we love this recipe! I had one tube of Jimmy Dean sage sausage and one of hot so that’s what I used. What an awesome recipe – we loved it! Thank you for sharing and I’m really enjoying getting your emails and recipes; you’re the best!
