How To Make Sausage & Ranch Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
This Sausage & Ranch Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is very easy to make. Just cook the sausage, mix with Ranch dressing, toss in the cheese and tater tots. Finally, whisk together the eggs and milk and pour over tater tots. That's it!I get a lot of questions about what type of sausage to use in my breakfast casseroles. I use two rolls of breakfast sausage such as Jimmy Dean sausage. I typically use regular sausage, but you can certainly use hot sausage or half regular and half hot.
Another question I get about tater tot casseroles is if you need to thaw the tater tots before adding to the casserole dish. I don't thaw the tater tots before adding them to the casserole dish. I just toss them in the casserole dish frozen and they turn out perfectly.
Can You Freeze Sausage & Ranch Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole?
Absolutely! You can make this Sausage & Ranch Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole ahead of time and refrigerate overnight or freeze unbaked for later. You could even split the recipe into two pans and bake one now and freeze one for later.
If baking after refrigerating overnight, you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time. If baking after freezing, thaw completely and bake as directed below.
