Ingredients
  

1 pound frozen tater tots

1 pound breakfast sausage (regular or spicy, based on preference)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk (whole or 2% for creaminess)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Cooking spray or olive oil (for frying eggs)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tater Tots: Preheat the oven and bake the tater tots according to the package instructions until crispy and golden brown, typically around 20-25 minutes.

    Prepare the Sausage Gravy: While the tater tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

      Create the Roux: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

        Add Milk and Season: Gradually pour in the 2 cups of milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir constantly.

          Cook the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of cooking spray or olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your liking (sunny-side-up, over-easy, etc.).

            Assemble the Bowl: Once the tater tots are ready, remove them from the oven and layer them in bowls. Pour generous amounts of the sausage gravy over the tater tots, followed by a fried egg on top of each bowl.

              Garnish: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions for color and extra flavor.

                Serve: Enjoy your delicious Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy while warm, pairing it with your favorite breakfast beverage.
