Main Ingredients

Sausage Gravy

Method

Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  2. 2

    Cook Ham and Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced ham, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Combine Tater Tots with Ham and Veggies

    Once the tater tots are done, add them to the skillet with the ham and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and let them cook together for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tot mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Sausage Gravy Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook Sausage

    In a separate saucepan, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.

  2. 6

    Make Gravy

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly. Gradually add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Eggs and Toast

  1. 7

    Cook Sunny-Side Up Eggs

    In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, crack the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 8

    Toast Bread

    While the eggs are cooking, toast your choice of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    To serve, place a generous scoop of the tater tot mixture on a plate. Top with the sausage gravy, and carefully place the sunny-side-up eggs on top. Serve with the toasted bread on the side.
