Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy – A Hearty Morning Favorite That Hits the Spot!
Golden crispy tots, creamy sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese all layered into one irresistible breakfast bowl. This is comfort food made for lazy weekends or feeding a hungry crowd.
I remember my dad making a version of this when we were kids. He’d toss everything into a big skillet, and we’d gather around with big spoons and sleepy eyes. Now I’ve turned it into a more polished but just as satisfying bowl that’s perfect for brunch or meal prep.
