Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Heat a large skillet over medium high. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up until browned, about five minutes. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Whisk together eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Arrange tots in an even layer in a lightly greased 3 quart baking dish. Top with one cup cheese and the sausage mixture. Pour egg mixture evenly over tots and top with remaining 1 cup cheese.
Bake until set in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Top with chives.
