This has become the breakfast I make on Christmas morning Bc it’s always a hit and super quick!
If I wanted to freeze this for a later time, what’s steps would that involve? Would I fully cook it before freezing or just assemble it and freeze it uncooked?
I freeze it uncooked.
I made this for a tailgate and I can’t even tell you how many people came up to me saying how good it was. Thanks for the recipe!!!
YAY! SO glad it scored a touchdown!
This is now, by far, my favorite breakfast casserole. Used a bag of seasoned tots since that’s all the store had on hand…but delicious. Thank you so much for creating this!
I have probably made this…oh I don’t know 6 or 8 times. I usually warm up my tater tots a bit. Then I use 7 eggs and 1.5 cups of milk. So delicious!
I just want to say how much I truly love your recipes. Probably 5 of my top 10 recipes for my families are yours. This is one of them. So simple and cheap too! Thank you!
SO glad to hear you are loving the recipes, Lyndsey!
Made this the night before Easter so I could bake it first thing In the morning. I substituted 1 pound of sausage with 1 pound of bacon and it was delicious! Will definitely make again.
Served this for Easter Breakfast today. It was delicious!!
Could I half the recipe for two people? We’ve made this twice and it’s a favorite!
Absolutely!
Or freeze half for later
Love this receipt. I made it one night for
next day company & due to weather they had to CX. How long can it be refrigerated before cooking? Is 2 & a half days to long.
I think that would be fine.
How hot and spicy is this with the hot sausage? I am making it for someone else and need to be careful about how spicy it is.
You can use regular if you are worried about the heat.
I was concerned about the heat too so I used one hot and one regular. Worked great!
How are left overs? Looking for an easy breakfast to take to work since I have to be there by 5 am.
This is good leftover
Very Excellent. So light and yummy…. Yet delicious and filling.
This recipe is amazing! I made it for Thanksgiving morning with lactose free milk and ground Italian sausage and now we’re making it for our family Christmas! This time though we’re using unsweetened almond milk and beef-less ground beef. Looking forward to devouring it again! Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe is the best!
Question do you think it will be ok for 2 nights in the frig?
I think that would be fine.
I have a question, I notice it says Hot Sausage. Wonder if anyone has made it with the mild Jimmy Deans? Will the flavor be gone if I don’t use the hot/ sage?
mild will be just fine
Super delish–couldn’t believe how yummy this was! thank you for such a great recipe! I halved the recipe, used hot turkey sausage, and added lots of chopped jalapenos cuz we like it spicy. I can also tell you that cauliflower tots taste GREAT in this casserole!
Came out picture perfect and tasted great! May add onions, peppers, mushrooms next time per hubby request. I think it will be great heated up—looking forward to having it tomorrow morning…
I made this for Thanksgiving and am making again tomorrow for Christmas. I prepped the day before and added the liquid when ready to cook, I added two more eggs and cut the recipe in 1/2. Two family members including myself are vegetarians . I added mushrooms to both and for the meat eaters I added bacon bits. For the vegetarian version I used beyond sausage. Beyond Sausage is greasy – cook it completely and drain before adding.
Can you refrigerate this overnight?
Yes
