Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a cast-iron skillet, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked through. Use the tip of a spatula to break the sausage into small pieces. Soak up any excess fat with a paper towel by moving the sausage to one side and tilting the pan. Use the spatula to gently press down on the sausage, creating a single even layer filling the entire bottom of the skillet. Whisk eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Add salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and milk. Whisk and set aside. Layer tater tots (on their side) on top of sausage as evenly as possible with no overlap. Use as many as you can comfortably fit with a little bit of space in between. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese (if adding bacon add it now) and then pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire skillet. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes on the middle rack. Tots should be golden brown. In the last 5 minutes, top with an additional 1/2 cup of cheese and return to the oven. Remove from the oven, garnish with green onions, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.View original recipe
