Cheesy Tater Tot Breakfast Bake

• 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 1 lb breakfast sausage (No casings. We like Hot Jimmy Dean)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 eggs (extra large)
• 2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (if not adding onions)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (if not adding garlic)
• 2 lbs frozen tater tots
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (salt to taste)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

1. Brown sausage, drain and layer onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan/dish. Evenly sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese over the cooked sausage.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, pepper, onion and garlic powder, and salt. Pour evenly over the sausage/cheese. Layer on frozen tater tots. If not baking right away, cover tightly with foil and chill until ready to bake.
3. Pre heat oven to 350°F Place casserole in oven (middle rack) and bake for 35 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and crumbled bacon and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until sides are bubbling and top is golden brown.
4. Garnish with chopped parsley, and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
