Ingredients
  

1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the bag of tater tots. Spread the tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and crispy, usually around 20-30 minutes.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

      Make the Gravy: Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional minute to get rid of the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes. If it becomes too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

        Prepare the Eggs: In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, scrambled, or poached work great). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Assemble the Breakfast Bowl: Once the tater tots are crispy, remove them from the oven. In a bowl, layer the tater tots first, followed by a generous ladle of sausage gravy, and top with an egg. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and finish with a scattering of chopped green onions.

            Serve: If desired, add a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Enjoy your hearty and delicious Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl!
