Here I go again with more ‘Crack’.. and by “crack”, in relation to food, I totally mean irresistible and addictive! I’m in no way promoting drug use, drug dealing or losing everything you once loved to become a drugged out hobo! 🙂
I just mean, that after one bite you will crave more and more, think about it all the time, and feel moments of desperation~ that’s all!! So there’s the drug disclaimer…haha! Moving on… 🙂
This simple yet amazing one-dish wonder will be the hit of your next breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner..or breakfast-for-dinner gathering!
The pan is perfectly piled with toasty Tater Tots that are held together by cheese, studded with crispy Bacon, slightly spicy Sausage, Peppers and yep..topped with even more cheese! I probably shouldn’t fail to mention that the whole thing is mixed in Bacon grease and melted Butter. But that’s no biggie..haha! Just do this and you’ll be addicted for life.
~Be careful who you choose to share this with, because they will be calling you at all hours of the day and night needing their Tater ‘fix’! 🙂
What you’ll need:
A 9×13 baking pan/dish..sprayed with non-stick spray
10 (or so) cups of frozen Tater Tots
2 cups of assorted shredded Cheese…divided! I used Mozzarella and a Colby Jack blend
1 can of any cream soup you like..I used Nacho Cheese
1 lb. Bacon..crispy (reserve the grease..optional)
1 lb. Sausage..fully cooked
1 Green Bell Pepper..chopped//you can totally add whatever veggies you prefer!
1 Onion..chopped..I didn’t use it, but I do recommend it!
1/2 cup Butter..softened…if needed!
Sriracha…optional, but SO good with this!
Directions:
STEP 1: Pour the Tater Tots into a LARGE bowl and set it aside. They can be frozen, they’ll soften up as you proceed.
STEP 2. In a medium skillet, brown up the Bacon and Sausage separately, reserving most of the grease in the pan..of course you can discard it if you’d like!
STEP 3. Remove the Bacon, the Sausage and set them aside! Chop up your veggies…
STEP 4. Add them to the same skillet, if you removed the grease, replace it with a little softened butter, or olive oil!
STEP 5. Pour the Cream Soup into the pan…
STEP 6. Stir it up to combine, and then add in the cooked Bacon and Sausage…
STEP 7. Let the meat mixture cool just a bit, before adding it into the Tot bowl…
STEP 8. Now you can add the meat mixture into the bowl o’ Tots…
STEP 9. Gently stir it to combine…
STEP 10. Add in 1 cup of the Shredded Cheese and mix it up…making sure to reserve the other cup for the top…
STEP 11. Pour the mixture into your sprayed baking pan…
STEP 12. And top it with that remaining shredded Cheese…
STEP 13. Bake it at 350 degrees for approx. 30-45 minutes, or until it’s golden, bubbly and heated through…
STEP 14. Let that beautiful baby cool…
Now you can dig in there…
Spice it up if you’d like..and eat up! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Hi, I post a lot of recipes from different locations, I am also a distributor for Skinny Body Care, but I would like to have your permission to post your recipes and pictures. I will post giving your page recognition for the recipe of course. If not, I completely understand. Thank you.
Of course..thank you so much! 🙂
Made this tonight and it was pretty good. Hubby says its a keeper. I did add over easy eggs on top which really did take it to a whole new level.
Ooo YES!!! 🙂
YOU DIDN’T SAY WHAT KIND OF SAUSAGE YOU USED.
it said mild pork sausage.. which mean breakfast sausage… can use whatever flavor you like.. hot, mild, country, sage..etc..
What kind of sausage? Italian? Breakfast?
In the picture above, mild pork sausage is shown. I would think diced summer sausage, kielbasa, turkey sausage, etc. could also be used.
Could you post a link for just the recipe as well for those of us you do not care to have all the step-by-step pictures of each and every thing. Hard to print a 6 page recipe and cut and paste out the directions.
Thanks.
Simply check the box at the top of the print page that says “remove images”..from there you can even click out of any unnecessary text/paragraphs Hope that helps! 🙂
Looks like breakfast or Italian sausage to me. And I would brown the tater tots before putting the casserole together. JS.
I would love it if a printer version were added, so don;t have to print 20 pages to get this.
OPPS ,it helps to read comments and instructions LOL Thanks
I add a dozen eggs mixed with 3 cups of milk and I put the soup in with this and pour over the whole casserole. I do mine in a crockpot and made it for a potluck for breakfast and ever since get asked to make it every time we have a potluck. I also cook the tater tots per bag instructions before adding them – they seem to hold up better and since I do in crockpot they won’t brown otherwise. This is a fabulous recipe
How long did you leave it in the crock pot. And on what temperature.
Can this be made the night before with the same results?
I made this and OMG it is amazing. I made it for dinner but it has flavors that I enjoy more at breakfast. My husband said that it tasted like an omelet without the eggs and he loved it. He added a cut up tomato to his third serving (like he does with omletes). I had half a pan leftover (it heated up well in the oven to crisp it back up.) I cooked an omelet with tomatoes and we ate the leftovers mixed with the eggs. It took the dish to a whole nother level of awesomeness. This recipe could be great so many ways. I think the recipe the way it is, with a little sour cream and some green onions would be awesome, like a loaded baked potato. Big fan right here. This recipe is a real winner.
woohoo~ I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 🙂
can this be made the day before?
Would love a simple version of the recipe to print out, or even to be able to take a picture of it
Simply click on the top right link on each recipe that says “print”.. from there check the box that says “remove images” .. and you can even delete text that you don’t want/need. Hope that helps! 🙂
Will be making this for dinner tonight. Had to chuckle at your “drug use” disclaimer. I was asked by a co-worker to quit using the term “tweak” when describing adjusting something. She was a re-covered crack head and the term caused a “craving” reaction. At least she was honest & wasn’t ugly about it.
I just want to say, thanks for offering a PDF download option. I use my phone a lot to look up recipes, and printing is not an option most of the time. Thank you
