Ingredients
  

For the Tater Tot Bowl:

2 cups frozen tater tots

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced green onions

For the Sausage Gravy:

1 pound breakfast sausage (preferably a spicy one)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Salt to taste

Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat

Instructions
 

Cook the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, usually about 25-30 minutes. Flip the tots halfway through for even cooking.

    Prepare the Sausage Gravy: While the tater tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.

      Make the Roux: Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

        Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while constantly stirring to avoid lumps. Keep stirring as the gravy simmers and thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

          Season the Gravy: Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. If you like a little spice, add the cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine and let simmer on low heat.

            Cook the Eggs: In a small non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your liking: sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with a pinch of salt.

              Assemble the Breakfast Bowl: Once the tater tots are crispy, layer them at the bottom of a large bowl. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot tater tots, followed by the sausage gravy. Finally, top with the cooked eggs and garnish with diced green onions.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl warm, and enjoy this delicious and hearty meal any time of the day!
