Ingredients
  

1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots

1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Hot sauce (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread frozen tater tots evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove excess grease if necessary, but leave about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

      Make the Gravy: Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle the flour over the sausage in the skillet. Stir well to coat the sausage and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

        Fry the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a generous portion of crispy tater tots at the bottom. Top with a good amount of sausage gravy, followed by a fried egg on each bowl. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty breakfast bowl!
