Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen tater tots (32 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the six large eggs, one cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until well combined and smooth.
  3. Layer Tater Tots: Grease a baking dish and evenly spread the entire bag of frozen tater tots across the bottom to form the base layer.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped cooked bacon and sliced green onions evenly over the layer of tater tots for added flavor and texture.
  5. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared egg and milk mixture evenly over the tater tots and toppings in the baking dish, ensuring they are fully covered.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the casserole to create a cheesy, golden crust upon baking.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the top becomes golden brown and slightly crispy.

Notes

  • Make sure the tater tots are evenly spread to ensure consistent cooking.
  • You can use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon as alternatives if desired.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms with the bacon and green onions.
  • This casserole can be prepared the night before by assembling and refrigerating, then baking the next morning.
