This quick to prepare 5-ingredient Beef Smoked Sausage and Tater Tot Casserole is a sure thing when it comes to pleasing every member of your family. #HillshireSausage #Spon
A delicious and versatile ingredient I know can’t miss with when dinnertime preparation rolls around is, Hillshire Farm 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 of a 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.
