Preparation

Step 1

- Cook your tater tots and bacon according to the bag’s instructions. Make sure not to over cook as both will be going into the oven for another 35 minutes or so. Bacon should be crumbled after.
- Slice up your chicken sausage links, and pan fry them with two chopped onions. Once they are done, add them to a casserole pan.
- In a small mixing bowl, crack your eggs, and add your milk. Mix until fully blended, add your hot sauce, and spices. Once the mixture is thoroughly mixed, pour it over your sausage and onions. Then, line the pan with your cooked tater tots.
- Once lined, sprinkle with 8 ounces of cheese and crumbled bacon, and cook in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Once your casserole has cooked for 30 minutes, add the remaining 8 ounces of cheddar-cook for an additional 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chives before serving.
