Creating this Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole is as easy as following these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain the excess grease and set aside.
3. Beat the Eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Layer Tater Tots: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom.
5. Add Sausage: Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the layer of tater tots.
6. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots and sausage, ensuring it covers the layers well.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
9. Cool and Serve: Once done, allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.

These straightforward steps will help you craft a satisfying breakfast dish that everyone will enjoy.
