Loaded Tater Tots with Creamy Sausage Gravy

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (your choice of mild or spicy)
  • 1 bag of frozen tater tots (about 32 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Tater Tots:
    • Prepare the tater tots according to the package instructions, typically baked in the oven until crispy and golden brown.
  2. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
    • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir until well coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
    • Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Add garlic powder and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the Dish:
    • Once the tater tots are crispy, place them in a serving bowl or dish.
    • Spoon the hot sausage gravy over the tater tots.
    • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot gravy so it melts.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    • Garnish with chopped green onions.
    • Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For Extra Flavor: Add a dash of cayenne pepper to the gravy for a spicy kick.
  • Variations: For a loaded version, consider adding crumbled bacon, sour cream, or diced jalapeƱos on top along with the cheese and onions.

This dish combines the crunchy texture of tater tots with the rich, creamy flavor of sausage gravy, making it a perfect comfort food for any meal or as a hearty side dish.
