Nutritional Benefits
This breakfast bowl is not just delicious but also a great way to fuel your day. While tater tots add a crispy and comforting element, using lean sausage provides protein to keep you feeling full.

Customization Options
The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility! Here are some fun ideas to make it your own:
- Protein Choices: Swap the sausage for bacon, ground turkey, or even a plant-based sausage for a different flavor.

- Toppings: Top your breakfast bowl with a fried or poached egg, shredded cheese, or sliced avocado for extra creaminess!
Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low-carb option)
- 2 cups milk (whole or your preferred type)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, fried eggs, or avocado slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the package instructions and bake the tater tots until they are crispy and golden brown, usually around 20-25 minutes.
- While the tater tots are baking, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully browned and cooked through.
- Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine, cooking for about 1 minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and layer them in bowls.
- Pour the sausage gravy generously over the crispy tater tots.
- Add your favorite toppings—whether that’s shredded cheese, fresh green onions, or a perfectly cooked egg—and enjoy your tasty breakfast bowl!
Tips for Success
- For a spicier gravy, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sausage while cooking.
- Feel free to make the gravy ahead of time; simply reheat it before serving.
- This breakfast bowl is also great for meal prep—just store the components separately and assemble them when ready to eat!
