    This quick to prepare 5-ingredient Smoked Sausage Tater Tot Casserole is a sure thing when it comes to pleasing every member of the family.

    Smoke Sausage and Tater Tot Casserole Recipe
     

    A delicious and versatile ingredient I know can't miss when dinnertime preparation rolls around is, beef smoked sausage.

    Everyone in my family loves the tender, beefy, smoky flavor. Plus it's cleaner and easier to work with than chicken, and it's a can't miss solution for an easy, fast, and super tasty weeknight supper.

    Tater tots are also a big hit in my household. Even when it's only me and my husband eating. This is happening a lot more often these days as we (gratefully and gradually) work our way toward being empty-nesters for the first time in our married life. Don't ask. It's a long story and has been a looong time coming. LOL

    So it just seemed to me like a no-brainer to combine beef smoked sausage and tater tots, and then top them with eggs (because everything is better when topped with eggs).

    To add a bit more zip to my dish, I sauteed some green pepper and onion and added them into the mix. However, if you're not a fan of those ingredients, they're totally optional, and you can leave them out.

    The result is what I'm calling Beef Smoked Sausage and Tater Tot Casserole. Simple and to the point. It's one of those fabulous dishes that can do triple duty in your recipe repertoire. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

      This looks fantastic, I just added it to our menu for next week. Tater tots and smoked sausage are a natural combo - and the addition of all the veggies and a runny egg is nothing short of perfection. YUM!
