Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this mouthwatering breakfast bowl:

• 1 bag of frozen tater tots (about 32 oz)
• 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or your choice)
• 4 large  eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish (optional)

• Step-by-Step Directions

  Step 1: Cook the Tater Tots

  Preheat your oven according to the package instructions and spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy, usually around 25-30 minutes. For extra crispiness, flip them halfway through cooking.

  Step 2: Brown the Sausage

  While the tater tots are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  Step 3: Make the Gravy

  In the same skillet with the sausage drippings, add the butter and let it melt. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk it into the butter, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until it’s lightly browned. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   

   

  Step 4: Cook the Eggs

  In a separate pan, cook the  eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or poached all work great for this recipe.

  Step 5: Assemble the Breakfast Bowl

  Now comes the fun part—assembling your breakfast bowl! Start with a base of crispy tater tots, followed by a generous scoop of sausage. Add the eggs on top and drizzle with the  creamy gravy. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bowl, and if you like, garnish with chopped green onions or parsley.

• Tips and Variations

  • Cheese Lovers: Add a variety of cheeses like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack for an extra  cheesy breakfast bowl.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the sausage with plant-based crumbles or sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach.
  • Spice It Up: Add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

  How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

  If you happen to have leftovers (which isn’t likely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop the bowl in the microwave for a couple of minutes until heated through, or reheat the tater tots separately in the oven to retain their crispiness.

  FAQ Section

  Q: Can I make the gravy ahead of time?
  A: Yes, you can make the gravy a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if it’s too thick.

   

   

  Q: Can I use frozen sausage patties instead of ground sausage?
  A: Absolutely! Just cook the patties according to package instructions, then chop them up before adding them to the breakfast bowl.

  Q: What other toppings can I add to the breakfast bowl?
  A: Get creative! Avocado slices, crispy bacon bits, or even a dollop of sour  cream can add more flavor and texture to your bowl.
