I love making breakfast casseroles on the weekend for a nice brunch. My tater tot breakfast casserole is a simple dish the whole family can enjoy, I mean who doesn’t love tater tots! It takes little time to prepare and has basic ingredients to keep things easy. Great for meal prep and freezes well. Makes 6 servings at 7-9PP depending on your 0PP foods.
Ingredients used
- Ground turkey
- Thyme
- Sage
- Onion salt
- Garlic salt
- Fennel seeds
- Oregano
- Salt & pepper
- Eggs
- Milk
- Paprika
- Shredded cheese
- Tater tots
- Bacon crumble
- Green onion
Tips and suggestions…
Feel free to add in some diced veggies, peppers, onion, mushrooms.
Any milk can be substituted for dairy concerns.
I used cheddar cheese, any kind of shredded cheese will work well in this dish.
I used the package of real bacon crumble, if you are in the U.S you can use the center cut bacon, cooked and crumbled.
Use the tater tots as a guide for the serving sizes, each serving will have 8 tater tots in it.
Leftovers will be good in the fridge for a few days, this dish will freeze well in an air-tight container. To reheat I suggest using the air fryer or oven.
