The crispy tots make it a hit with kids, and that sausage gravy? Ohhh honey, it brings everything together like a dream. Whether it’s brunch for guests or just a Tuesday night craving breakfast-for-dinner, this bowl’s got your back.

🛒 Ingredients Needed

For the Tater Tot Bowl:

  • 4 cups frozen Tater Tots

  • 4 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional, but adds great color and flavor)

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • ½ lb breakfast sausage

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1½ cups whole milk

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

💡 Tip from Kristy: You can swap turkey sausage or a plant-based version to lighten it up or make it W-W friendly!

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Tots

Preheat your oven and bake the tater tots until golden and crispy (about 20–25 minutes). Set aside but keep them warm.

2. Make That Sausage Gravy

Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Sprinkle over flour and stir it in well—let that cook for 1–2 minutes to nix the raw flour taste. Slowly stir in milk and cook, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

3. Scramble the Eggs

While the gravy is thickening, scramble the eggs in a nonstick pan until just set—fluffy and golden.

4. Build Your Bowl

Layer crispy tots into bowls, top with scrambled eggs, ladle over creamy sausage gravy, and finish with shredded cheddar and green onions.

🎉 Serve warm and prepare to be adored.

🍳 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

  • Storage: Store components separately in the fridge for 3–4 days.

  • Reheat: Reheat gravy on the stovetop with a splash of milk to loosen it up. Tots are best crisped in the air fryer or oven.

  • Make-Ahead Hack: Bake tots and cook sausage gravy ahead of time. Scramble fresh eggs just before serving.
