Kitchen essentials for tasty recipes:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are great for all kinds of baking and not just cookies! My husband loves them for making biscuits, pizzas, and more!

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

How to make cheesy tater tot breakfast casserole:

This is a really easy recipe to make in the morning…that’s great since I never wake up feeling like I want to spend a bunch of time in front of the stove or oven!

Preheat the oven to 350 ℉.

In a medium skillet, cook ground sausage over medium heat while breaking into small pieces until no longer pink. 

Remove skillet from heat, drain grease from sausage and set aside.

Grease a 9′ x 13′ baking dish with cooking oil spray. (Glass works best.)

Spread the crumbled sausage in an even layer over the bottom of the baking dish. 

In a medium bowl whisk eggs, half and half, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well combined. 

Pou the egg mixture over the sausage in the baking dish.

Top with shredded cheese.

Place frozen tater tots evenly over the top of sausage, egg and cheese mixture. Do not submerge tater tots.

Bake for approx. 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. 

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
