This Sausage Gravy Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole is a hearty, family-friendly dish made with simple ingredients like pork sausage, creamy homemade gravy, crispy tater tots, and melty cheese.
0 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage until it's fully browned and no pink remains. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and stir until it’s fully mixed in.
1 Turn the heat down to low and stir the mixture (the roux) occasionally for 2–3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
2 Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking to remove any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 4–5 minutes, or until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3 Turn off the heat and stir in most of the bacon crumbles, saving a little to sprinkle on top later.
4 Spread the mixture into your baking dish. Top evenly with the frozen tater tots, then sprinkle on the remaining bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
5 Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the tater tots are hot and crispy. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes so it can set. Garnish with chopped green onions, serve, and enjoy!
