Ingredients
  

4 cups frozen tater tots

1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

4 large eggs (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and arrange the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet. Bake them according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy, about 20-25 minutes.

    Brown the Sausage: While the tater tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

      Make the Gravy: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally.

        Optional Eggs: If you'd like to add eggs, you can fry or scramble them in a separate pan to your preferred doneness while the gravy is thickening.

          Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, place a generous portion of the crispy tater tots. Ladle the sausage gravy over the top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. If using, add the cooked eggs on top.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
