We all need a few of those easy recipes that we stick in our back pocket for last minute weeknight meals. If you have room for one more, this is it! Keep the few things that you need on hand and you’ll be all set for those days when you just don’t feel like making anything fancy. This is also a crowd-pleaser weekend breakfast!

You will need a bag of frozen tater tots, 2 cups of Colby Jack cheese, minced garlic, a pound of sausage, milk, eggs and salt & pepper to taste.

Preheat your oven to 425° and brown your sausage in a **cast iron skille**t. Mine is a 12”. (The **Mix-N-Chop** is fantastic for browning meat! I am a PC consultant 😉 but used it even when I wasn’t).

While that is browning, go ahead and whisk your eggs in a mixing bowl (**LOVE my classic batter bowl**).

Add Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

Add 1/2 tsp of ground mustard. This is the secret ingredient that gives it just a hint of tang!

When the sausage is cooked through, add 2 tsp of minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. These **adjustable measuring spoons** are my jam, by the way! Less drawer clutter is a big win in my small kitchen.

Turn off the heat and stir in the frozen tots and cheese. You could use the Crispy Crowns or the larger tots, either is fine.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over it all.

Pop in the oven and bake for about an hour, until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and crispy! If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you could do this in a regular skillet and transfer to a **baking dish**. I personally love the flavor and crisp that cast iron gives! And the fact that it goes from stovetop to oven. The **RockCrock dutch oven** would also be perfect for this meal, and that bad boy goes right into the dishwasher when you’re done!

You could easily change up the meat or add onions and peppers for a little flair! This one is so easy, comes together in minutes and is a family favorite!
