Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
cooking spray
1 pound ground sausage
½ large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 eggs
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Arrange Tater Tots® in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potato nuggets are partially cooked, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • While the potatoes bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage, onion, chili powder, basil, and garlic in the hot skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly and onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl until evenly blended; season with pepper.
  • Arrange partially-cooked potato nuggets in the prepared casserole dish; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Spread sausage mixture over cheese layer. Pour egg mixture over sausage layer.

Tips:

  • Use shredded cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.

  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
