Ingredients
  

1 pound frozen tater tots

1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the frozen tater tots according to package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes.

    Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.

      Make the sausage gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until light golden in color. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

        Season the gravy: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked sausage and let it simmer for another couple of minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.

          Cook the eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, scrambled, or poached). If frying, cook on medium for 2-3 minutes per side until the whites are set but yolks are still runny for that perfect breakfast touch.

            Assemble the bowl: In serving bowls, layer a generous portion of crispy tater tots at the bottom. Top with the sausage gravy, followed by the cooked eggs.

              Finish and serve: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy this hearty breakfast bowl!
