Ingredients
  

1 bag (32 oz) of frozen tater tots

1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

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

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare Tater Tots:

    Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, typically around 20-25 minutes.

      Cook the Sausage:

        In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess grease from the pan, leaving about a tablespoon.

          Make the Gravy:

            Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Continue to stir and cook until the gravy thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

              Cook the Eggs:

                In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or poached). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

                  Assemble the Bowl:

                    Once the tater tots are ready, remove them from the oven. In a large bowl, layer the crispy tater tots as the base. Top with a generous portion of sausage gravy, followed by cooked eggs and shredded cheddar cheese.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve hot. For added flavor, drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Enjoy your hearty breakfast bowl!
