Ingredients:

1.  One 16-ounce bag frozen Tater Tots®
2.  Butter, for the baking dish
3.  1 tablespoon olive oil
4.  1 pound spicy bulk breakfast sausage
5.  1 medium onion, very finely diced
6.  1 cup milk
7.  1/2 cup half-and-half
8.  1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
9.  1/4 teaspoon cayenne
10.  4 large eggs
11.  1 red bell pepper, very finely diced
12.  1 green bell pepper, very finely diced
13.  2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
14.  1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
15.  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Step No.1

Arrange the tater tots in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish that has been greased.

Step No.2

In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the sausage and onion, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. After allowing it to cool down a bit, scatter it over the tater tots.

Step No.3

Combine the eggs, bell peppers, half of the cheeses, seasoned salt, cayenne, milk, and a little amount of salt and pepper in a big bowl. Drizzle the remaining cheese over the tots and sausage mixture. Place foil on top and chill for the entire night.

Step No.4

Set the oven's temperature to 350°F.

Step No.5

Bake for about 25 minutes with the lid on. Take off the foil and bake for a further 20 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden and the casserole is cooked through. Serve after cutting into squares.
