Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sausage
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 cups frozen tater tots
- 4 large eggs, fried or scrambled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange tater tots on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 25–30 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook beef sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter, then whisk in flour, cooking 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Layer baked tater tots in a large serving dish, top with cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the top and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately for a warm, hearty breakfast bowl.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Substitute tater tots with hash browns for a slightly different texture.
- Make ahead: Cook tater tots and sausage ahead, assemble and reheat with eggs for quick breakfasts.
