HOW DO YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE?
Cook your sausage and bacon in a skillet. Place a layer of tater tots in a single layer 9X13 inch baking dish. Mix together your egg mixture and throw in the sausage and bacon. Then pour it over the tots and bake! Et Voila!.
The egg mixture thickens in the oven, creating a delicious, gooey combination of crisp potatoes and bubbly cheese. The savory flavors are a perfect compliment to a sweet side. Try our Blueberry Coffee Cake to create the perfect, classic breakfast duo.
**What I LOVE Most About This Recipe**
- It’s Quick and Easy to make.
- Meaty, Cheesy, and Tater Tots….I mean!
- Can be made ahead of time.
- The Crispy Brown edges of the casserole!
CAN YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE AHEAD OF TIME?
Absolutely! This recipe is fantastic for a make-ahead dish. Whether you’re prepping for breakfast the next day or making a large batch to take to a brunch, it’s very easy to assemble.
It can be whipped up at any time and kept in the fridge for 24-48 hours before baking. I do recommend baking it within the first 24 for taste.
Safety Tip: Our version contains raw eggs, as many of them do, so be sure to keep it well covered and separate from other foods. Safety first, friends!
CAN YOU FREEZE TATER TOT CASSEROLE?
You sure can! The freezing ability of casseroles reigns far above most foods. They freeze well. The best part is that when you take them out, thaw, heat and consume…they taste just as good!
Here’s How: After baking, place your casserole or leftover portions, into a freezer safe container and freeze away! I like to divide it up into a few smaller, individual servings, so I can just take it out and warm it in the microwave anytime I’m looking for a quick, easy breakfast!
Safety Tip: Casseroles with cooked eggs should not be stored for longer than 3 months. Don’t worry though, it will never take you that long to eat it. Check out these fantastic guidelines on freezing food and storage time.
CAN YOU MAKE TATER TOT CASSEROLE IN THE CROCKPOT?
We all love the crockpot for one reason: convenience. It helps us live life a little more simply. It’s a great convenience having breakfast ready to go when you’re trying to get the family out the door in the morning. It’s almost as fantastic as being home alone with a king-sized Toblerone and a Gilmore Girls marathon.
All you have to do to make this happen is to get up early. You don’t even have to stay up. You can stumble joyously back to bed, knowing that breakfast for your family will be ready when they all wake up!
CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS;
- Follow the recipe instructions as listed below, but combine in your slow cooker instead of a casserole dish.
- Cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5.
Oh, and as just a little side note, Check out the photo above. This is my favorite part of this whole dish! The amazing crispy edges!!!
I’m telling you this dish is perfection!
RECIPE NOTES FOR TATER TOT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE:
Versatile: One of my favorite parts about this tater tot breakfast casserole is that the flavors are completely interchangeable! Leftover work great!
Our tater tot breakfast casserole recipe is also incredibly easy to lighten. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious as is, but you’ll see yet another change in flavor if you try chicken sausage, turkey bacon, or even skim milk!
Make it Vegetarian: Making a vegetarian version is easy. Omit the bacon and sausage (obviously) and add cooked vegetables. Trust me when I say that you can literally add almost any vegetable to this dish to create the ultimate tater tot breakfast casserole no meat version! Diced bell peppers, tomatoes, fresh spinach and even broccoli are just a few examples of fresh veggies that complement the taters…and please the tots. Kids LOVE the veggie version. You can even attempt the tater tot casserole sausage fake out. Use Morningstar Farms sausage crumbles!
Simplicity: No matter how you decide to make this dish, the fact that the tater tots can go right into the pan from the freezer, and that it can be prepped in advance or made completely in the same day, makes it incredibly appealing for not only weekday breakfasts, but for large events as well!

I added sautéed onions, red and orange bell peppers and garlic because why not.

Karen says
November 12, 2019 at 11:36 pmHow many eggs and how much milk.
Kathleen says

Sherry says
August 18, 2019 at 10:26 pmBig hit with my church! I made one with just sausage (I used precooked sausage links for convenience) and another vegetarian using whatever veggies I had available. People asked for a repeat performance! Thanks for sharing!
Kathleen says
August 20, 2019 at 3:26 amHi Sherry!
I’m so glad everyone loved it. Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is great for potlucks and when family comes to town. It’s one of my go-to recipes also. Thanks for sharing!
Kerri says
August 4, 2019 at 12:34 pmIt was delicious! Everyone at brunch said it was so yummy!
Susan says
August 2, 2019 at 5:26 pmThis sounds fantastic!
I have one question.
Do you have to thaw the tater tots or can you put them in frozen?
I didn’t see anywhere that it stated that.
Thanks!
Kathleen says
August 8, 2019 at 1:11 amNo you do not 🙂
Jamie says
July 12, 2019 at 3:13 pmThis recipe is a huge hit with my family! ❤️
Can this recipe be used as a freezer meal?
Kathleen says
July 13, 2019 at 12:35 amHi! So happy to hear that Jaime! Yes, it works great from the freezer. <3
Rick Gentry says
July 18, 2019 at 8:08 pmShould I assume you bake it completely before you freeze it?
Kathleen says
July 21, 2019 at 10:09 amHi, Rick! Yes you are correct 🙂
Nancy says
June 1, 2019 at 5:11 pmHave you ever made it in a muffin pan? I was thinking of putting 2 tots at the bottom of each muffin cup and then following the recipe from there. I thought it might be nice to have it in individual portions. What do you think?
Kathleen says
June 2, 2019 at 7:06 pmNancy, I think that is genius! I love that idea. Eating little muffin sized casserole would be so much more fun. I’d love to know how they turn out! Thanks for sharing your great idea. <3
Kelly says
May 13, 2019 at 4:32 pmDoes this reheat well if I were to make it today and have for bfast a few days in a row?
Kathleen says
May 13, 2019 at 8:04 pmHi kelly, Yes but the tater tots will likely be a little soggier.
Stephanie says
April 27, 2019 at 4:47 pmThis was so amazingly good! The only change I made was to use half the amount of sausage links. The family said I could make this everyday. I could probably have eaten the entire pan on my own. So good!
Kathleen says
April 30, 2019 at 6:16 pmOh, yeah Stephanie! I’m stoked it was such a hit with the family <3
Lisa says
April 23, 2019 at 11:34 amAdded this to our Easter Brunch menu this year and it was a big hit. Easy and delicious!!!
Kathleen says
April 24, 2019 at 7:40 pmHi, Lisa! So happy you add this to your menu! Glad you liked it 🙂
Stephanie says
March 30, 2019 at 3:01 pmLove the recipe and how super easy it was. Ours was just made for a smaller casserole dish, we still had leftovers LOL Thanks for the recipe.
Kathleen says
March 31, 2019 at 11:31 pmYou’re so welcome Stephanie! I’m so happy you enjoyed <3
Mimi says
March 27, 2019 at 11:43 pmGreat recipe! I baked my tatertot layer first for extra crispy potatoes, omitted the meat for veggies (kids not such meat fans) and served bacon country gravy over the top. So delicious!
Kathleen says
March 28, 2019 at 8:22 pmOh Mimi! Bacon country gravy makes everything better! 🙂
Mike says
March 24, 2019 at 5:12 pmMy family really enjoyed this dish. The second time I made this I put a Mediterranean tilt by using chopped spinach, feta cheese and Turkey sausage. It was even better. This one is going into my breakfast rotation.
Kathleen says
March 24, 2019 at 5:55 pmHi Mike! That sounds like a delicious version. So happy you and your family enjoyed 🙂
Carol Weber says
March 5, 2019 at 1:32 amI took you at your word that substitutions would work. It turned out my cheddar was too far gone, so I had to use a bag of cheddar/jack and then move to a bag of Mexican Blend. Because I love veggies, I added some broccoli, but because my son loves bacon and sausage, we kept both. Even with all those changes, it was stellar. Both adult sons, my husband and I agree it’s our new favorite breakfast casserole. We did all the work at once, but I know that in the future, it’d be a piece of cake to mix up the egg mixture so that when I wanted to cook it, I’d only need to arrange the tater tots and pour in the egg mixture.
Wonderful recipe; thanks so much!
Kathleen says
March 5, 2019 at 7:32 pmCarol, you are so welcome. I love to hear it was a hit with your whole family!! <3
Diane L Eldridge says
February 20, 2019 at 8:50 pmI am very interested in making this for approx. 80 people!!! Can I just use the large foil pans, double the amounts and increase the bake time? Do you think that would work? Sure looks wonderful!!!!
Kathleen says
February 22, 2019 at 12:20 amHi Diane! I must say, I haven’t made such a large quantity! Your plan sounds like exactly how I would do it. I’m not sure of the exact size of your foil pan. You may need to do a little math to make sure doubling is the best way to go.
DIANE says
January 18, 2019 at 5:07 pmKathleen,
next time I will read through the whole article cuz I just did and yes you have instructions for making this in a crock pot. OOPS my bad. Am sending this off to my daughter cuz I know they will like this.
Kathleen says
January 19, 2019 at 7:14 pmHi Diane. No worries! Just was about to respond when I saw this. I hope you guys enjoy this yummy casserole!! <3
Tim says
June 13, 2019 at 9:16 pmQuick question…do the tots need to be thawed?
Kathleen says
June 20, 2019 at 2:38 amHi Tim. No, they don’t! 🙂
Diane says
January 18, 2019 at 4:56 pmKathleen,
could this be made in a crock pot? was thinking of my daughter and family and was going to pass this recipe on to her.
Allison says
January 1, 2019 at 10:29 pmI made this for Christmas morning breakfast and it was a big hit! I simplified the recipe a bit and just used two bags of the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles instead of cooking my own sausage, and added no bacon. The green onions really add a nice flavor, and leftovers the next day were a big hit as well!
Kathleen says
January 2, 2019 at 6:05 amHi, Allison! Yay, thank you! Your tweak is perfect! Glad it was a hit 🙂 Dare we say it’s your new favorite breakfast? 🙂
Pamela Taylor says
January 2, 2019 at 3:25 pmI made it for NewYears morning…it is the BEST, EASIEST and QUICKEST egg casserole I’ve found and EVERYBODY loved it!!!!!!!
Kathleen says
January 4, 2019 at 3:36 amHi, Pamela! Thank you so much! Yay, So happy you like it! It’s the best! I hope you’ll make it often 🙂 <3
Maggie says
March 21, 2019 at 4:35 pmThank you for the suggestion of using the sausage crumbles! My husband is going to try to make this for a men’s breakfast at church and he wants it to be the easiest possible!
Kathleen says
March 23, 2019 at 6:07 pmHi Maggie! I’m so happy he’s going to try this <3
Pete says
January 1, 2019 at 4:08 pmI’m not all that fast in the kitchen so I am concerned about prep time. Not sure how you could cook sausage, then bacon, and throw it all together in 15 minutes…
What’s a realistic prep time?
Kathleen says
January 1, 2019 at 7:22 pmHi Pete! Well, to be honest, if you’re not fast in the kitchen then no, that would not be a realistic prep time for you. I do try to be realistic when I add those times, but we all do work at different speeds. I hope you make the casserole and enjoy the process and results! Best wishes 🙂
Sharleen Hendrickson says
January 11, 2019 at 6:11 amcook your bacon in the oven on parchment paper, doesn’t splatter, stays flat, crispy and done at the same time as the sausage. middle rack 375.
Kathleen says
January 13, 2019 at 2:43 amGreat idea, Sharleen! 🙂
Kenzie painter says
December 26, 2018 at 3:12 amThis was a huge hit Christmas morning!! My new fav❤️
Kathleen says
December 26, 2018 at 7:43 pmHi, Kenzie! So happy you found your new favorite! Thank you for letting us know that it was a hit, yay! 🙂
bracewell says
January 12, 2019 at 10:02 amCan you put this together the night before and then bake it the next morning
Kathleen says
January 16, 2019 at 12:00 amYes, you can! 🙂
Sue says
December 25, 2018 at 6:40 pmI’ m on Keto diet , rest of the family is not! Made casserole one side lined with tater tots other side with cooked sausage. Used ham rather than bacon and used onion, broccoli and red pepper. Turned out awesome. Had to cook a little longer
Kathleen says
December 26, 2018 at 7:44 pmHi, Sue! Your tweaks are perfect! That’s a genius idea!
Mike says
December 24, 2018 at 10:30 pmI’m planning to make this for my crew as a Christmas breakfast meal. One question, can you use frozen tots or do they need to be thawed when you line them in the baking dish?
Kathleen says
January 13, 2019 at 3:25 amHi Mike. Yes, you can use the tater tots frozen. 🙂
ben says
December 24, 2018 at 2:08 amHello. Do I put the tater tots in the pan frozen or thawed? Does it matter?
Kathleen says
January 13, 2019 at 3:26 amHi Ben. The recipe works either way 🙂
amanda says
December 19, 2018 at 4:17 pmHi! Do you think this would work in a crockpot??
Kathleen says
December 20, 2018 at 1:32 amHey Amanda. Yes, you can!! I have instructions in my article <3
Helen says
December 11, 2018 at 5:10 pmI would like to assemble the casserole, not bake it, freeze it for travel thaw and bake it the next day. Have your tried this? Any suggestions?
Kathleen says
December 13, 2018 at 12:29 amHi Helen. No, I haven’t. I’m not exactly sure how the raw eggs would do through the process.
Kiah says
November 25, 2018 at 2:35 pmOmg this recipe is amazing! I loaded mine with cheese it was perfect for a birthday brunch meal at the park! Thank you!
Kathleen says
December 7, 2018 at 4:36 amHey Kiah! So happy to hear it worked for your brunch! Did you see our new video for this recipe?
Jessica says
November 25, 2018 at 1:00 amIs this something you can prep the night before and throw it in the oven the next morning?
Kathleen says
December 1, 2018 at 12:45 amYes, Jessica 🙂
MELISSA says
November 21, 2018 at 5:25 pmThis is a great recipe, even my picky eater likes it. I did change it around a bit, i removed the sausage all together, and i mixed all of the bacon and green onions into the baking mix. I also only put 2 cups of chesse total in the mix. I didn’t do the extra for topping, after it baked i let it set then we ate it like that. It was delicious. Thank you for your recipe.
Kathleen says
November 21, 2018 at 6:26 pmYou’re so welcome Melissa! I’m so happy even your picky eaters like this! Always so great to hear <3
Karli Plummer says
November 22, 2018 at 12:53 amQuestion and wasn’t sure where to ask. Only have the little tator tots, will it still work?
Kathleen says
December 8, 2018 at 11:54 pmHi Karli. It should work just make sure there’s enough to cover the bottom of the baking dish 🙂
Karli says
November 22, 2018 at 12:55 amIi only have the little ones, would it work?
Tama says
October 28, 2018 at 6:59 pmLoved this variation of tater tot casserole, less prep time than my other one with mushroom soup, sour cream and cheese, etc. This is more “breakfasty”. (Not a word!) Also, I didn’t have the tater tots but I did have the potatoe patties, so I lined the whole bottom of the casserole dish and the sides. (I love a good crust!) I partially baked the patties in the oven first to crisp them up a bit, then poured the egg mixture over the whole thing. The cool thing is the potato crust is showing around the edges a little and makes it look like a quiche.
Kathleen says
November 9, 2018 at 5:14 pmWow, Tama the potato patties sound like a delicious idea! I’m glad this recipe was easier and you loved it! Thanks for sharing all your tips <3
Tiffany says
September 29, 2018 at 5:38 pmAwesomeness
Victoria says
September 19, 2018 at 6:21 pmVery good. I fed a full house of guests and they all loved it. Especially my husband who loves tater-tot casserole. Thank you
Kathleen says
September 20, 2018 at 4:37 pmSo happy everyone enjoyed it, Victoria! I hope you try more of our recipes <3
Lisa says
August 29, 2018 at 10:17 pmDo you cover it when you bake it?
Kathleen says
August 31, 2018 at 4:53 amHi Lisa! No need to cover when you bake it <3
Lisa says
August 29, 2018 at 4:36 pmLooks delicious! Would like to try it this coming weekend…just wondering if you cover it when you bake it?
Cori says
August 26, 2018 at 12:28 amVegetarian here- should i saute my red onion and green pepper before putting it in my egg mixture?
Thank you!
Kathleen says
August 27, 2018 at 9:58 pmHey Cori. Yes, saute them until they’re soft. Let them cool a bit before adding them to the egg mixture. Hope you enjoy! <3
me says
August 1, 2018 at 8:32 pmHi I think the carb content is way off. Recipe is good though.
Kathleen says
August 2, 2018 at 1:18 pmThank you! We are working with a new program. I’ll check it out!
Betty says
August 17, 2018 at 7:27 pmFor sure!! I just read 2g of carbs and started to enter the recipe into an app I have. One servings of tater tots is 9 tots and that is 20g of carbs, so one servings of this recipe is going to be more than that even….
Kathleen says
August 18, 2018 at 4:29 pmBetty, we’re working with a new computer program to try to bring you the most accurate nutritional info we can. I’ll have this rerun to check for any errors. Thank you for letting me know there might be an error <3
Connie B. says
July 29, 2018 at 7:17 pmI think I’ll try baking the Tator Tots like the oven directions, then, using them in this recipe. The extra crunch might be more interesting; I’m sure the egg custard will soften them a bit, too.
Thanks!
Kathleen says
July 31, 2018 at 1:33 amYes, Connie, you’re absolutely right. Prebaking will yield a crunchier tater tot. I love the convenience of doing it all at once. I’d love to hear back from you if you prebake them and how you like it <3
Lauren says
December 10, 2018 at 3:26 pmDoes this mean your out them in frozen?
David says
July 19, 2018 at 4:36 amThink this will be breakfast might throw is some sausage gravy over the tots
Kathleen says
July 20, 2018 at 3:24 amGravy over Tater Tots is always a good idea!
Stacy says
July 16, 2018 at 6:17 pmI made this this morning and it was delicious! I skipped the bacon just because I didn’t want it. Cooking instructions were on par. My only complaint is that your nutrition information is WAY off. I made it with one 9oz pkg of sausage links and I omitted the entire pound of bacon, and even my recipe came out to be 591 calories per serving for 8 servings.
Kathleen says
July 20, 2018 at 4:16 pmHey Stacy, thank you so much for letting me know. We are working with a new program and trying to fix all the kinks! I’m really happy you found the instructions correct. I really work at them!!!
Patti says
July 13, 2018 at 5:55 amCan’t wait to make this but unsure about the sausage links? Do you mean breakfast sausage? Wish there was a photo of what you mean…
Kathleen says
July 13, 2018 at 12:45 pmHey Patti! Great question. Yes, you’re exactly right, I used breakfast sausage links. I added that clarification to the recipe. Thanks for leaving a comment and letting me know I was unclear! <3
Kathy says
July 11, 2018 at 4:06 pmLooks like it would work as muffins as well! Perfect for Christmas morning or out the door on a school day.
Kathleen says
July 11, 2018 at 5:30 pmWow, Really great idea Kathy!
Kerri says
July 10, 2018 at 11:35 amThis sounds delicious! Can’t wait to make it. ☺
Kathleen says
July 10, 2018 at 10:23 pmHey Kerri, hope you enjoy!
Bill says
July 3, 2018 at 5:20 pmHi! This looks amazing! I am serving a big breakfast tomorrow and was planning to make hash browns and eggs, but I think I’d like to try this instead. Do you think it would work with frozen has browns instead of tater tots?
Kathleen says
July 7, 2018 at 4:26 pmHi Bill, I bet it would. To be honest, I haven’t made it that way but it sounds like an interesting variation! Let us know if you try it!
alyce says
August 2, 2018 at 2:49 pmI was wondering that myself..Thanks for asking..
Nicole says
July 2, 2018 at 9:21 pmDefinitely takes longer then 40-45 minutes to cook. After 60 minutes the eggs were still runny in the middle.
Kathleen says
July 7, 2018 at 4:52 pmHi Nicole. Thanks for sharing that!
Jen says
June 30, 2018 at 2:30 pmAre the tater tots frozen or thawed?
Kathleen says
June 30, 2018 at 4:44 pmHi Jen. You can make it either way. <3
Kim says
July 25, 2018 at 3:47 amIf they are frozen, would the excess moisture then require a longer cook time? By the same token, would cooking them beforehand allow for a shorter cook time?
Kathleen says
July 27, 2018 at 1:41 pmHey Kim. Honestly, I haven’t found that the time changes much at all. I think it may be the way the tater tots are processed.
Lara says
June 26, 2018 at 1:09 amLooks great, I don’t care for that much meat, particularly bacon, so I think I will follow some of your suggestions & make a part veggie, part sausage casserole, I see mushrooms with some red pepper & onion. Looks like a great recipe, can’t wait to try. Hubby loves anything tatertot, particularly casserole, sure it will be a hit.
Kathleen says
June 26, 2018 at 4:27 amHi Lara! I hope you enjoy the recipe. Can’t wait to hear what combo you decide to cook up <3
Donna Keanrs says
June 15, 2018 at 5:03 pmBest ever recipe… Everyone loved it. It is going to be sent around as the new family favorite .
Kathleen says
June 16, 2018 at 3:01 pmSo happy to hear that Donna! Thank you for commenting and rating the recipe <3
Tim says
June 9, 2018 at 11:53 amIt looks good. But what did you do with the sausage? Eat it plain on the side or throw it away?
Kathleen Smith says
June 9, 2018 at 12:02 pmHi Tim. Sorry about that. I really need an editor 🙂 Anyway, I’ve updated the recipe. You add the sausage and half the cooked bacon to the egg mixture before you pour it over the tater tots. Thanks for catching my error!
