Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage, breaking it into pieces until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or whole milk), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined and frothy.
  4. Spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage over the layer of tater tots, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
