This hearty bacon and tater tot breakfast casserole is a crowd-pleaser, combining crispy bacon, fluffy tater tots, and creamy eggs baked to perfection under a layer of melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
8 slices bacon
32 ounces tater tots
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and assemble all your ingredients.
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it becomes crispy and golden, which should take around 5 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat on paper towels.
Spread the crispy bacon evenly along the base of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top the bacon with a layer of tater tots.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots.
Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, then transfer the dish to the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the casserole is warmed through and the cheese is melted and golden.
Once done, take it out of the oven, serve warm, and savor your delightful breakfast dish!
