Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the tater tots evenly on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Once fully browned, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Gravy: Using the same skillet with the sausage drippings, sprinkle the flour over the drippings and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Add black pepper and salt. Cook until the gravy thickens, then stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Prepare the Eggs: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled).
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the crispy tater tots among serving bowls. Top with a generous ladle of sausage gravy, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Add the cooked eggs on top and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve: Enjoy your Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy, a hearty, satisfying meal perfect for starting your day!
