Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
cooking spray
1 pound ground sausage
½ large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 eggs
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Arrange Tater Tots® in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potato nuggets are partially cooked, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • While the potatoes bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage, onion, chili powder, basil, and garlic in the hot skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly and onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl until evenly blended; season with pepper.
  • Arrange partially-cooked potato nuggets in the prepared casserole dish; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Spread sausage mixture over cheese layer. Pour egg mixture over sausage layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set in the middle and lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

This casserole was a waste of time and money. It was bland, dry, and tasteless.

The potatoes in this casserole were not cooked all the way through. I had to put it back in the oven for an extra 30 minutes.

This casserole was way too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out great. This casserole is very versatile and you can easily adapt it to your own taste.

I added some chopped ham to this casserole and it was delicious. It's a great way to add some extra protein to the dish.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some mashed potatoes in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The cheese and eggs were the perfect complement to the potatoes.
