Preparing Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy
Making a Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl is as gratifying as it is delicious. The process begins simply with cooking the tater tots to a crisp, then layering in the rest of the savory elements. First, we’ll pan-fry the breakfast sausage, followed by creating a luxurious gravy that comes together in minutes. Near the end, fluffy scrambled eggs round off this dish perfectly. The assembly is just as straightforward—layering is key to keeping flavors intact.
