Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk ground pork breakfast sausage
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese, divided
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and place oven rack in center of oven. Spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, break up the sausage with a spatula. Once the sausage is about halfway cooked, stir in the diced red pepper and onion. Continue cooking until sausage is cooked through, stirring occasionally. Then turn heat up to medium-high to further brown the sausage for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. If there is excess fat in the pan, drain it out and discard. Then transfer sausage mixture to prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
- While sausage is cooking, make the egg mixture. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until just evenly combined. Then whisk in 1½ cups of the shredded cheese, plus the sour cream, ½ teaspoon of the salt, black pepper, ½ teaspoon of the garlic powder, and the onion powder. Pour egg mixture over the sausage mixture in the pan.
- Arrange tater tots in a tight, even layer over the egg mixture. Sprinkle tater tots evenly with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
- Bake for 55 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Remove baking dish from oven and sprinkle remaining ½ cup shredded cheese over the top of the tater tots. Then bake for 5 minutes more. If desired, place baking dish under broiler for 1-2 minutes to crisp up the tater tots a bit more.
- Remove baking dish from oven and let rest for 10 minutes to set. Sprinkle green onion over the top before cutting and serving.
