Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is a great weekend brunch item. It is packed with chorizo, bell pepper, eggs, tater tots and cheese. Would also be excellent with an added onion. So delicious and so easy to make. Chorizo has always been a favorite of ours because we love the spice. If you don’t love the spice, you can choose another breakfast sausage or a mild chorizo.
Check out my first video for Simply Made Recipes! Quick moving but you can see just how simple this casserole is to put together in the morning!
