TATER TOT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole image

This is an easy one dish casserole that is great for a breakfast, brunch, holiday or for overnight guests as a special breakfast. I make this Christmas morning before I wake everyone up to open presents and the smell of it cooking makes us hurry to open the presents so we can dig in! Very versitile recipe. I have added various ingredients such as sauteed mushrooms, green chilis, olives, sausage and onions to make a rich omelet-like dish. I sometimes serve with a NW favorite to top...Tiger Sauce. This recipe came from my friend Kyle and was an immediate hit with all.
