Tater Tot Breakfast Muffins

I made these a couple of months back and my kids have been asking for them ever since! I adapted the recipe this time to make 24 muffins, as they don't last long in this house :).

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. bacon/sausage- cooked and crumbled
• 1 dozen eggs
• 1 bell pepper (whatever color you prefer)- diced
• 1 small onion- finely chopped and sauteed with meat
• 1-2 cups shredded cheese, depending on preference
• 2 Tbs. milk
• salt & pepper
• 1 bag frozen tater tots

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Get out two muffin tins and generously spray all 24 slots.
3. Put 3 tater tots in each of the 24 slots.
4. Put in the oven at 425 for about 10-15 minutes until they start to get brown and crispy.
5. While this is cooking, cook sausage or bacon.
6. Add in diced onion when meat is almost cooked.
7. Crack the eggs in a bowl and add the milk and a dash of salt and pepper and whisk with a fork to mix well.
8. Once the tater tots are a little browned and crispy, pull them out of the oven and turn the oven to 375 degrees.
9. Begin layering the ingredients. Start by adding about a TBSP of sausage/bacon, pepper, and cheese to each slot.
10. Then add about a TBSP (spoonful) of egg until it is just a little under the top of each slot. The egg goes in last to fill in the "blank spaces".
11. Pop this in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes.
12. Once cooked, there will be no liquid left.
13. Scoop it out with a spoon by running a spoon all around the edges and "scoop" it out onto your serving plate.
14. Serve warm and enjoy!
