After making this a few times, I decided to switch things up a bit. It’s super easy to swap out the spinach for other vegetables and even but bacon or ham in place of the sausage. Each alternative ingredients gives it a bit of a different taste and keeps it from getting boring. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:
“This recipe will please kids and adults and is easy to whip up quickly!”
This is a great casserole to whip up when you have a large crowd to feed. It’s perfect for the morning after slumber parties with the kids or even for those special birthdays and other holidays when you really want to start the day off right.
Ingredients
1 lb. ground Jimmy Dean pork sausage
1 yellow onion, chopped fine
4 cups baby spinach
10 eggs
1½ cups milk
1 heaping teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
1½ cups shredded Kraft cheddar cheese
About ¾ of a bag frozen Ore-Ida tater tots
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the ground sausage and onion together until no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat. Add the spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into the baking dish.
Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and stir to combine. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. *At this point, you can cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake the mixture for 30 minutes then remove and increase the heat to 425 degrees. Line the top of the casserole dish with tater tots, return to the oven, and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, or until tater tots are heated through. I like to turn the broiler on for a few minutes at the very end to make sure the tater tots get nice and crispy. Serve warm.
