Tater tots replace the need for hash browns in this delicious breakfast casserole recipe. This casserole consists of meat, cheese, eggs, and tater tots layered and then baked in the oven. For the meat, you can use whatever choice of breakfast meats you would prefer—some good choices would be cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, and ham. This is a good starter recipe and you can add additional breakfast ingredients if you choose. Sautéed onions, green peppers, and mushrooms would be a good option. This casserole can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy.

This is so tasty! It went fast when I prepared it for a Thanksgiving-morning football game with my extended family.
