Ingredients
- 1 2.75 oz. Package Pioneer Country Gravy Mix
- 1 lb. bag frozen tater tots about 3 cups
- 1 lb. breakfast sausage
- 7 oz. can mild diced green chiles
- 1 c. Monterey Jack Cheese
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 ½ c. water
- Optional Garnish Ideas: Reserved green chiles sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado slices, green onion, hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- In a large skillet or saute pan, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula into smaller pieces. Drain all of the grease off of the sausage mixture and reserve this cooked sausage for the egg casserole.
- Grease a 10x6 inch casserole dish with a little nonstick cooking spray or butter and pour in the tater tots.
- Sprinkle the cooked ground sausage on top of the tater tots evenly.
- Open the can of green chiles and sprinkle them over the casserole. Reserve 2 spoonfuls for the top of the casserole, if desired.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the entire casserole last.
- In a small bowl add the water and gravy mix and whisk well. Crack 3 eggs into the bowl and whisk them into the gravy. Gently pour this egg mixture over the entire casserole.
- Place in the oven and cook for 25-35 minutes, or until set. Remove the whole thing from the oven and place on the stovetop to cool slightly. Using a spatula cut squares and serve with hot sauce and extra black pepper!
