Print Recipe

Bacon, Egg, and Tater Tot Casserole is a cozy breakfast bake with crispy tater tots, fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and savory chicken bacon in every warm slice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
  • 8 slices chicken bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, optional
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions, optional
  • Butter or nonstick spray, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Whisk the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard together in a large bowl until smooth.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled chicken bacon evenly over the tater tots.
  5. Scatter the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese over the chicken bacon layer.
  6. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the casserole, letting it settle between the potatoes, chicken bacon, and cheese.
  7. Add the chopped green onions over the top if using.
  8. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden with lightly crisp edges.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Keep the tater tots in a single layer so the casserole bakes evenly.
  • Use Monterey Jack for a mild, creamy flavor or pepper jack for a little heat.
  • Letting the casserole rest before slicing helps the pieces hold together.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven for the best texture, especially if you want the tater tots to crisp again.
  • The casserole can be assembled ahead, covered, refrigerated, and baked when ready.
