Ingredients/Substitution Ideas You can serve it for breakfast or for dinner. You can switch up the seasonings and types of cheeses. You can customize the ingredients by adding in other ingredients like bell peppers, green chiles, sauteed mushrooms or diced tomatoes. You can cook it in the Instant Pot, slow cooker or oven. You can prep it the night before or the day of. What makes this recipe even better is that it is flexible. The cottage cheese gives the eggs a creamy texture, similar to starbucks egg bites. It’s a classic breakfast casserole that combines crispy tater tots, scrambled eggs, 2 different types of cheeses, browned sausage and a secret ingredient…cottage cheese. This tater tot breakfast casserole is a delicious and hearty breakfast dish that is perfect for prepping the night before you want to enjoy it and it also feeds a crowd. One way that you can do this is work for your weekend (just like the song!) by preparing a weekend breakfast casserole ahead of time. I like to serve this casserole with a nice healthy green salad on the side but any sort of steamed veggies would do too.One thing I love to do these days (as my kids have grown up and I have time to myself during the day time) is work ahead so that my weekends are relaxing and not jam packed with errands, chores and cooking. Then I have chicken ready for soups, casseroles, stir-fry’s and other dishes and the bacon is ready to top baked potatoes, sprinkle on soups (like our Bacon & Bean Soup) or on salads instead of of fake baco’ bits that are not even real bacon…yulk! > Try our recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix in this recipe! < The same concept applies to when bacon is on sale – buy a few extra packages, cook it up, crumble it and freeze it. When boneless skinless chicken breasts go on sale, I pick up a couple extra packages, bring them home, cut them up into bite sized pieces and freeze in freezer zipper bags. One of the ways I save time and money on a recipe like this is prepare ahead of time. You can easily toss this recipe together in the morning and have it cooking and ready to go by dinner time. Even Parker my “I hate casseroles” kid is fond of this one as long as I don’t mention the word casserole. This recipe is one of my kids favorites and something I make, oh, about once a month.
