Breakfast sausage – Use your favorite breakfast sausage for this casserole. You can buy the pre-packaged sausage in a log or use fresh ground sausage. Any flavor or variety will work. (We love using the sage breakfast sausage in ours!)

Eggs – You will need 8 eggs for this recipe.

Half and half – Whole milk or heavy cream can be substituted for the half and half, if needed.

Spices – We keep our spices mild with simple salt, pepper and garlic powder. Feel free to add your favorite spices to this dish.

Cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese pairs well in this tater tot dish. Sharp or mild cheddar are our favorites, but any cheddar cheese will work.

Tater tots – You will need 1 pound of frozen tater tots here. Any brand tater tots will work.
