Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese (shredded, about 1 cup)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375º.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and let sit while you cook the sausage.
- Add sausage to a large cast iron or oven proof skillet and cook over medium heat until browned. Remove to a paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon. Drain all but a tablespoon of grease.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sausage back to the skillet and stir with the mushrooms, spreading it evenly over the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Place the Tater Tots over the egg mixture. Sprinkle cheese and green onions over the top and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, about 35-40 minutes. The eggs will continue to cook after removing from the oven.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can substitute any cooked meat for the sausage.
- Try adding other veggies like green peppers, onions broccoli and cooking them with the mushrooms.
- For a Tex-Mex casserole, you can swap out the seasonings in the recipe for an equal amount of taco or fajita seasoning mix.
