Did you know today was National Tater Tot Day❓


If you are like me, at some point you have called a potato a "tater". 


They are great on the go foods not only enjoyed by kids, but us adults as we zoom from meeting to meeting during our work days. 


Did you know, they actually reduce potato waste, because they are made from left over French fries.🤣🤣


So if you were looking for an excuse to stop by your favorite restaurant and grab some tater tots here it is friends, or if you prefer to make your own here’s a fun, easy tater tot casserole w/ sausage recipe to get you started: 


𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

1 lb (450 g) ground mild pork breakfast sausage

1 pkg (12 oz/340g) frozen chopped onions and bell peppers

6 eggs

1 cup (250 mL) half & half

8 oz (250 g) Monterrey jack cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups/500 mL), divided

½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper

1 bag (32 oz or 800 g) frozen tater tots

Optional toppings: sliced green onions and salsa


𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C)

Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles. Add the frozen chopped vegetables and continue cooking over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink, and vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, half & half, half of the grated cheese, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.

Place the sausage mixture in the bottom of the Stone Rectangular Baker, pour the egg mixture on top, and arrange the tater tots in a single layer.

Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.

Top with green onions, if using and serve with salsa, if you’d like.

You can substitute 1 large onion, chopped and 1 large red bell pepper, chopped for the frozen vegetables.

Try Pepper Jack cheese instead of Monterrey Jack cheese for some extra spice.
