Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a large skillet, drizzle olive oil and add breakfast sausage. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the frozen tater tots at the bottom.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots. Sprinkle cooked sausage and shredded cheese on top.
  6. Top with the remaining tater tots, pressing down lightly.
  7. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk while stirring and cook until thick.
  8. Pour the gravy over the casserole evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes until tater tots are golden-brown and egg is set.
  10. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
