Combine the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half (or milk), salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Stir in some cheese.
Put the Casserole Together
In the baking dish, combine the cooked sausage and the tater tots. Pour the egg mixture over the top and stir to combine.
Bake the Breakfast Casserole
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for about an hour, or until the sides pull away from the pan. Let it sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
Making Ahead

Cover it tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, uncover, top with the remaining cheese, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover sausage breakfast casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat in the microwave or oven until heated through. Always use your best discretion with eating leftovers.
