I created this recipe over time in homage to the original from Opie's BBQ in Spicewood, TX. Some things to note: Ore-Ida tater tots have lots of salt and seasoning; typically off-brand do not. I would probably add over a tsp for off-brand tots.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
1 pound bacon
1 pound bulk pork sausage
3 ½ cups frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cups grated Colby-Jack cheese, divided
8 large eggs
2 cups milk

Tips:

  • Use frozen tater tots. Frozen tater tots are already cooked, so they will cook quickly and evenly in the casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Add some spices. A little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will help to enhance the flavor of the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The tater tots should be cooked through, but they should still be slightly crispy.

Conclusion:

Opie's Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tater tots. The casserole can be customized to your own liking by adding different cheeses, spices, and toppings. It is a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
