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.
  • You could also spread the tots out on a baking sheet and bake them for 10 minutes in a 375ยฐ F oven. This will thaw and crisp them for more texture in your breakfast casserole.

Can this Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole recipe be doubled?

Yes it can! Use two 9″x13″ baking dishes and just divide the ingredients between the two. Cook time may be a bit longer with two pans in the oven.

  • Try adding some chopped green onions or chives to the egg mixture.
  • Make a taco version by using ground beef with a packet of taco seasoning.
