For the Sausage Gravy:

  • ½ pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Tater Tots:
    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  2. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked.
    • Sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stirring to coat, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
    • Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

Notes:

  • For extra crispiness, broil the tater tots for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • You can swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack, mozzarella, or gouda for a different flavor.
  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers. Reheat tater tots in an oven or air fryer for the best texture.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour for the gravy and ensure tater tots are certified gluten-free.
