Ingredients
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
6 large eggs, scrambled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Colby Jack)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk (warm)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Salt, to taste
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, hot sauce, or fresh parsley
Instructions
Cook tater tots according to package instructions until crispy and golden.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Scramble eggs in a separate pan until fluffy; keep warm.
Make the gravy: In the same skillet used for sausage, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly add warm milk while whisking until smooth and thickened (about 5 minutes). Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Assemble bowls: Start with a base of crispy tater tots, then top with sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese.
Spoon warm gravy over the top and garnish with optional toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
Swap tater tots for hash browns if desired.
Use country sausage gravy mix for a shortcut.
Add sautéed peppers, mushrooms, or onions for extra flavor.
Perfect for meal prep — store ingredients separately and assemble before serving.
