Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage over the tater tots, followed by bell peppers and onions if using.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
