Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to use frozen tater tots, as fresh tater tots will not crisp up as well.
- If you don't have breakfast sausage, you can use ground beef, turkey, or chicken.
- You can add any other vegetables you like to this casserole, such as chopped spinach, mushrooms, or peppers.
- Be careful not to overcook the casserole, as it will become dry.
