The Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl is a hearty and indulgent morning delight, reminiscent of lazy weekend brunches and comforting home-cooked meals. Imagine a bowl filled to the brim with crispy, golden tater tots as the base, providing a satisfying crunch that gives way to a warm and fluffy interior. This is just the beginning of a symphony of flavors and textures that await you.
Layered on top of the tater tots are a medley of breakfast favorites, each adding its own unique touch to the dish. Picture savory scrambled eggs, cooked to perfection with a creamy texture and seasoned with a hint of salt and pepper. They nestle atop the crispy tater tots, offering a protein-packed foundation for the bowl.
Next comes a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese, slowly melting over the warm eggs and tater tots, creating a gooey, cheesy blanket that adds richness and depth to every bite. The cheese melds with the other ingredients, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that is as comforting as it is indulgent.

Bake tater tots according to package instructions until crispy.
In a skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Remove sausage and set aside.
