Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (32-ounce) bag of frozen tater tots
1 pound diced ham
1/2 cup bacon bits
1 1/2 cups, plus 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
8 eggs
1 (10.5-ounce) can of cream of mushroom condensed soup
1 cup of milk
1/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon season salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread the tater tots, bacon, ham, and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese into the casserole dish. Toss gently with your hands or a large spoon so that all of the bacon, cheese, and ham is evenly dispersed among the tater tots.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, pepper, salt, onion powder, and hot sauce.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the tater tot mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the eggs are almost completely set.
  • Remove the aluminum foil. Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and evenly distribute the red and green bell peppers.
  • Turn the heat of the oven up to 425 F and cook for 20 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the eggs are completely set, and the edges have browned.
  • Serve with a nice slice of toast and some fruit for a beautiful and complete breakfast!
