Creating the Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl with Sausage Gravy is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and crumbly, around 5-7 minutes.
3. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken. Add garlic powder and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Prepare Tater Tots: While the gravy thickens, spread the tater tots evenly on a baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy, typically 25-30 minutes.
6. Combine: Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven. In a large serving bowl, layer the tater tots first.
7. Add Gravy: Pour the sausage gravy generously over the tater tots.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the gravy while it’s still hot, allowing it to melt nicely.
9. Garnish: Finish off by garnishing with chopped green onions for added freshness and flavor.
10. Serve Immediately: Serve your Tater Tot Breakfast Bowl warm to enjoy the best flavors and textures.
