Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC).
Cook the sausage (2 packages) in a skillet until cooked through. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain the skillet of all fat. Slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cook bacon (1 pound) in the same, defatted skillet until brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble.
Arrange tater tots (32-ounce) in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Whisk together eggs (12), milk (1/2 cup), 1/4 cup green onions, salt (1/2 teaspoon), and pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Stir in cooked sausage and half the cooked bacon.
Fold in 1 cup of Monterey jack cheese and 1 cup of cheddar cheese into the egg mixture and pour the egg mixture over tater tots
Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture is set. Approximately 40-45 minutes.
Sprinkle top evenly with the remaining 1 cheddar cup cheese, then pop back in the oven, for about 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with remaining half-crumbled bacon and green onions and serve.

Notes

Tater tots: You can add them straight from the freezer to the baking dish.
Cooking: Be sure to preheat your oven and keep an eye on the baking time. You don’t want to over-bake this one. Also, don’t skip the resting time before serving. It’s vital to the proper texture and flavor of this yummy dish.
