Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. You want it nice and hot when your casserole goes in.
Grab a skillet and toss in that chopped bacon. Medium heat works best so it gets crispy but doesn’t burn. Drain it on paper towels when done to ditch the extra grease.
In a big bowl, whisk together those 10 eggs with ¼ cup milk. Add in your Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Get it all mixed real good – you want even flavor in every bite.
Fold the cooked bacon and the shredded cheddar cheese into your egg mix. The cheesy bacon goodness is gonna taste so right.
Spray or grease your baking dish real good. Now spread the frozen tater tots evenly on the bottom.
Pour your egg, cheese, and bacon mixture right over those tater tots. Make sure you cover it all nice and even so every tot gets some love.
Pop it in the oven and let bake for about 30 minutes. You’re looking for the eggs to set and the top to get that little golden glow.
When it’s done, give it a few minutes to cool before slicing. You don’t wanna burn your tongue, but you gotta taste it soon!
Notes
Serve your breakfast casserole warm and enjoy the crispy, cheesy layers.
