     Title: Sausage & Egg Tater Tot Casserole
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Potatoes, Dairy, Cheese
     Yield: 8 Servings

     8 lg Eggs
     1 c  Milk
     1 tb Smoked paprika
     1 ts Garlic powder
     1 ts Onion powder
   1/2 ts Black pepper
     1 lb Uncooked breakfast sausage
          Olive oil; if necessary
     1    Green bell pepper; diced
     4 c  Frozen Tater Tots (19 oz)
     1 c  Sharp Cheddar; shredded
   1/4 c  Scallions; sliced

 Set the oven @ 375 F/190 C.

 In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, paprika, garlic powder, onion
 powder, and black pepper and set aside.

 In a large (12") cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the
 sausage until browned and cooked through, stirring frequently and
 breaking up the sausage into smaller pieces, about 4 minutes. Using
 a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate.
 Pour off and discard all but 1 tb of fat (if you don't have enough
 fat in the pan, add enough olive oil to equal 1 tb). Add the bell
 pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened with a bit
 of bite to it, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool
 slightly, about 6 minutes.

 Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine, then pour
 the egg mixture over the sausage and peppers making sure it evenly
 covers the entire bottom. Place the tots on top, add the shredded
 Cheddar and scallions and bake until the top is well-browned and
 puffed in the center and a knife inserted into the center comes out
 mostly clean, 35 to 55 minutes, depending on how creamy you like
 your eggs. (They will continue to cook slightly as they rest). Let
 rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
