Ingredients

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

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Tips:

Use frozen tater tots: Fresh tater tots can be used, but frozen tater tots will cook more evenly and hold their shape better in the casserole.
Don't overcook the bacon: Bacon should be cooked until it is crispy but not burnt. Overcooked bacon will make the casserole greasy and less flavorful.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese are all good choices.
Season the casserole well: Be sure to season the casserole with salt and pepper, and any other desired seasonings, before baking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the casserole.
Let the casserole rest before serving: Once the casserole is baked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set up.

Conclusion:

Tater tot and bacon breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that is perfect for a crowd. It can be made ahead of time and reheated in the morning, making it a great option for busy families. With its crispy tater tots, flavorful bacon, and cheesy goodness, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
