Ingredients for Tater Tot Frittata Casserole:

1 pound of Jimmy Dean pork sausage
½ medium green bell pepper, diced
½ medium yellow onion, diced
8-10 medium eggs
½ cup of milk, heavy whipping cream, or half-and-half
¼ tsp of salt
¼ tsp of black pepper
¼ tsp of garlic powder
¼ tsp of onion powder
¼ tsp of smoked paprika
1 (14oz) can of diced tomatoes, drained
4oz of fresh spinach
8oz of shredded cheddar cheese, divided
320z bag of frozen tater tots
Fresh or dried parsley, for garnish

How to Make Tater Tot Frittata Casserole:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F, then place a large oven-proof skillet on a stove over medium-high heat, and add the sausage. Break them apart and cook until no longer pink, then add the diced bell peppers and onion, and give them a good mix. Continue to cook until veggies have softened, then drain off the excess grease, and turn off the heat.

Step 2

Add the fresh spinach, then leave it until wilted, and while waiting, prepare the egg mixture. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika, then whisk everything until well combined, and pour the mixture into the skillet.

Step 3

Add half of the cheddar cheese followed by the diced tomatoes, then give them a good mix to combine, and place the frozen tater tots on top spreading them in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 4

Allow it to bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy and the egg mixture is set, or a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Remove it from the oven, then garnish with parsley, and let it rest on the counter for at least 5 to 10 minutes until completely set. Serve and enjoy!
