  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tot and sausage blend in the baking pan.
  6. Cover tightly with plastic wrap if preparing ahead and refrigerate, or proceed to bake.

Allowing the casserole to cool before slicing helps maintain its shape. Avoid overbaking to prevent dry eggs. Add vegetables for extra nutrition and flavor.
