Ingredients
For the Sausage Gravy:
•1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage
•3 tbsp all-purpose flour
•2 cups whole milk (more if needed for consistency)
•Salt and pepper to taste
For the Breakfast Bowl:
•4 cups frozen tater tots
•4 large eggs (cooked to your preference: scrambled, fried, or poached)
•1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
•1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
•Hot sauce or salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Tater Tots
•Preheat your oven according to the tater tot package instructions.
•Spread the tater tots on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, usually 20–25 minutes.
2. Make the Sausage Gravy
•In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked.
•Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
•Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Let the mixture simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
•Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Cook the Eggs
•Cook the eggs according to your preference. Scrambled, fried, or poached eggs all work well for this recipe.
4. Assemble the Breakfast Bowls
•Divide the tater tots among serving bowls.
•Top each bowl with a generous scoop of sausage gravy.
•Add the cooked eggs on top.
•Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and any additional toppings like hot sauce or salsa.
5. Serve and Enjoy
•Serve immediately while everything is hot and fresh.
Tips and Variations
•Add Veggies: Include sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
•Cheese Lovers: Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for added variety.
•Meat Options: Swap the sausage for bacon, ham, or a meat-free alternative.
