1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3
Sauté the Vegetables
Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender.
4
Mix in the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh eggs. Once the vegetables and sausage are cooked, remove them from heat and allow them to cool slightly before combining them with the eggs. Stir well until mixed.

5
Layer the Tater Tots
In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the tater tots evenly across the bottom.
6
Add the Egg Mixture
Pour the sausage, onion, mushroom, and egg mixture over the tater tots, spreading it evenly.
7
Add Cheese Topping
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

8
Bake the Casserole
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the eggs are set.
9
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
