Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

Apply cooking spray in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.

Add the sausage and cook until brown. Remove from the skillet onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

In a mixing bowl, add milk, eggs, ¼ cup green onions, salt, and pepper. Beat until well mixed.

Add ½ of the crumbled bacon and the sausage slices. Stir until well mixed.

Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until well mixed.

Pour the mixture on top of the tater tots and spread it evenly.

Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes.

Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted completely.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.

Sprinkle the rest of the crumbled bacon on top.

Garnish with green onions.
