easy breakfast casserole

I will start by saying that this recipe is meant to serve 10 people! So if you aren't feeding an army you could probably half this recipe, like I did. This is super easy and can be made the day before and refrigerated-which makes it an easy dinner for hectic nights. You also don't have to cook the tater tots! You put them in the pan straight out of the freezer-AWESOME!

I did make some substitutions based on what we had in our fridge. Instead of tater tots I used the mini round hash browns, which are basically the same thing, I also used regular breakfast sausage-not hot sausage. That's just a personal preference so you could potentially use the maple flavored sausage if you wanted. 

Ingredients

2 lb. hot breakfast sausage

1 (30-32oz) bad frozen tater tots
