You’ll love this Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole recipe made Amish style with eggs, tater tots, bacon, and cheese. Can easily be doubled to feed a crowd!
We’re a month into the school year now and both kids being gone full days is glorious – I get so much done in six and a half hours! And I miss them. It’s nice to miss them.
But juggling homework and after school sports is a mess. They come home starving and by the time they finish their snack, it’s past 3. Which means if we do an early dinner, they won’t eat. So I’m serving dinner late most nights after sports – like 7:30. ACK. That’s super late for us.
Breakfast for dinner it is!
A lot of breakfast for dinner. Eggs, pancakes, waffles, quiche, and overnight casseroles to the rescue. Like this Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.
Since the kids don’t like baked or mashed potatoes (who doesn’t like mashed potatoes?!! *shakes fists*), I live a life deprived of spuds. But they do love french fries and definitely Tater Tots – their favorite! Trevor could make an entire meal out of them if I let him.
This breakfast casserole was totally easy and delicious. We all loved it. Perfect for breakfast, or in my case, dinner.
