Ingredients

1 lb. breakfast sausage ground or removed from casing
1 red bell pepper diced
2 green onions chopped, plus more for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat then spray with nonstick spray. Cook the sausage until it’s browned, using a wooden spoon to break it up. Once cooked, remove with a slotted spoon.
Add a little bit of oil to the skillet, then add the bell pepper and green onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the spinach and saute for 1 minute until it’s wilted; remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt together. Add the cooked sausage and veggies to the bowl with the eggs and whisk to combine.
Pour the egg mixture back into the skillet, then add the tater tots on top, placing them so that they do not overlap. The amount of tots you use will depend on the size of the skillet you’re using.
Sprinkle the cheese on top, then place the skillet in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and wait 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation.

*If you don’t own a large, oven-safe skillet, use a 9x13 casserole dish instead

*I recommend buying a 32 oz. bag of tater tots, but you may not use the whole bag.
