Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients For Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy : 

• 4 cups frozen tater tots
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Chopped green onions
• Fried eggs

How to Make Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy

1. Cook the Tater Tots:

• Preheat your oven according to the directions on the tater tot package. Spread the tater tots in an even layer on a baking sheet and cook until they are crispy and golden brown, typically 20-25 minutes.

2. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:

• While the tater tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and crumbly, about 7-10 minutes.
• Drain the excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet to add flavor to the gravy.

3. Make the Gravy:

• Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage, stirring to coat the sausage evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
• Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. Assemble the Bowls:

• Divide the crispy tater tots between serving bowls. Pour the warm sausage gravy generously over the tater tots.
• Customize each bowl with optional toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, or a fried egg for extra indulgence.

Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Use vegetarian sausage and a plant-based milk to create a vegetarian version of this dish.
• Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the gravy for a little heat.
• Loaded Breakfast Bowl: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or crumbled bacon for even more flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to prevent it from separating. Tater tots are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.

What to Serve with Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy

This dish pairs perfectly with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to balance out the richness of the gravy. For beverages, a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice will complement the flavors beautifully.

Tips

• Crispier Tater Tots: For extra crispy tater tots, increase the oven temperature by 25°F for the last 5 minutes of baking.
• Lump-Free Gravy: Whisk continuously when adding the milk to ensure a smooth and creamy gravy.
