Sausage and Spinach Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole
As breakfast casseroles go, this one is pretty standard. It’s got the basics– egg, cheese, a vegetable, and a breakfast meat–and it’s ridiculously easy to throw together.

Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground pork sausage
- 1 yellow onion (chopped fine)
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 10 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon heaping Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 bag frozen tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the ground sausage and onion together until no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat. Add the spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into the baking dish.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and stir to combine. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. *At this point, you can cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Bake the mixture for 30 minutes then remove and increase the heat to 425 degrees. Line the top of the casserole dish with tater tots, return to the oven, and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, or until tater tots are heated through. I like to turn the broiler on for a few minutes at the very end to make sure the tater tots get nice and crispy. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can get fancy and line the tots up like in my photo for very neat slices - or just dump them on in a single layer! It all tastes great.
