Description
A hearty and satisfying breakfast featuring crispy tater tots smothered in rich, savory sausage gravy. Perfect for starting your day off right!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for topping)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Prepare the Tater Tots: While the sausage is cooking, bake the frozen tater tots according to the package instructions (usually 25 minutes at 400°F or 200°C) until crispy and golden brown.
- Make the Sausage Gravy: In the same skillet, add the flour to the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Breakfast Bowl: Once the tater tots are cooked, place them in individual bowls. Spoon the sausage gravy generously over the tater tots.
- Add Cheese and Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve: Serve hot and enjoy this hearty and comforting breakfast!
Notes
- For an extra savory touch, you can add a fried egg on top of your breakfast bowl.
- Feel free to use turkey sausage as a leaner alternative.
- Customize the toppings with your favorite cheese or herbs!
