Tater Tot Breakfast Skillet Recipe

Are you looking for a delicious breakfast recipe that combines the flavors of maple sage breakfast sausage, peppers, onions, eggs, and crispy tater tots? Look no further than this Extra Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Skillet recipe! This casserole is inspired by traditional tater tot hotdish, but with a breakfast twist.

To start, cook bell peppers and onions until they are soft, then mix them with the maple sage breakfast sausage. Brown and season ground pork with sage, thyme, and maple syrup to create the perfect breakfast sausage flavor. While that's cooking, prepare the eggs by soft-scrambling them before adding them to the casserole.

Next, it's time for the cheese sauce! Mix together a roux with butter and flour, then add milk and cook until thickened. Add in lots of cheddar cheese to create a creamy, cheesy sauce that will be the star of this casserole. Pour the sauce over the eggs and top with tater tots.

To assemble the skillet, start by making a layer of sausage, peppers, and onions at the bottom. Then add a layer of eggs, followed by a layer of cheese sauce, and finally a layer of tater tots. Repeat this process until you've used up all the ingredients, ending with a layer of tater tots on top.

Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes to lock in the moisture. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the tater tots are crispy and the sauce is bubbling in the center. If you're feeding a crowd, consider doubling the recipe and using a larger skillet.
