Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. If using bacon, cook until crispy. Drain any excess grease. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the casserole: In the greased baking dish, layer the cooked sausage (or bacon), sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Add tater tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots on top of the casserole in an even layer.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden and crispy.
- Garnish and serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired.
Enjoy your warm and hearty breakfast casserole!
