Can I use sausage links instead of ground?

Sure! You can use the brown-and-serve, Italian, or whatever you like. Cut the links into bite-sized pieces and cook them with the onion.

Can the Tater Tots be Frozen?

• Yes, though I prefer to have them thawed. I like to thaw mine by putting them in the fridge the night before I am making the breakfast casserole.
