We’re all about the big breakfasts here at 12 Tomatoes, especially when bacon and potatoes are involved! This loaded tater tot casserole from our friends at Spoon University just might be one of our new favs. With layers of everything we love from the crispy bacon and gooey cheese to the creamy eggs and tots, you really can’t go wrong with this one!

- 3 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 lbs tater tots

- Drain and place onions and sausage in the bottom of a 9×13 pan, followed by 1 ½ cups of cheese.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Then pour the mixture over the cheese so that it is evenly distributed.
