"Mom, I'm hungry!"

Happy Friday! I hope your day is going well. Thank you for stopping by today. How many times have you heard, "I'm hungry!" or "What's for dinner?" Here's a great breakfast recipe!

I found this recipe a few years ago somewhere on the internet....for the life of me I cannot remember where it came from. But, the first time I made this casserole, we were having a Nanny/Poppy sleepover here at the house. We spent time in fellowship and talked about our family (in the best sense of the word)...This dish is fittingly called Darrell's Almost Famous Breakfast Casserole, because just a few days later, my nephew, Darrell, went home to Heaven. Every time I make this dish now, I always think about him and what a sweet young man he was! He loved his Lord, his family and always had time to play with even the youngest of the group! Oh, so many people long for Heaven!!!


This is Darrell and my oldest daughter playing with bubbles...a favorite childhood activity!



And, now, the recipe. It's pretty easy and very yummy! Sorry, I don't have a picture of this...

Darrell's Almost Famous Breakfast Casserole

32 ounces tator tots
1 pound sausage
6 large eggs
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Spray a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray.
Line the pan with tator tots. (Because I'm a little OCD, I always make sure the tator tots are in nice neat rows. ;-)
Sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 15 minutes.
While the tator tots bake, cook the sausage until no longer pink. Drain well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the eggs with a little water, salt, and pepper.
After the tator tots are finished, lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
Pour the eggs over the tator tots.
Cover with sausage.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until eggs are set.
After the eggs are set, remove from oven and spread the cheese on top.
Return to oven until the cheese melts.
Enjoy!

To spice this up a bit, add some chopped onions and peppers to the sausage while it's cooking...

Have a wonderful weekend--and keep Heaven in mind!
