Here’s how to make this incredible breakfast! You might even enjoy it as a snack or even lunch.

Ingredients

The entire recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. But here’s what you need from the store before you make it.

Tater Tots (2 lb package)
Cream Cheese (8 oz packages), softened
Sour Cream
Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese (cheddar & jack), divided
Jalapeño Peppers, sliced or diced
Bacon pieces
(I use the packaged real bacon bits that are sold near the salad dressings at the grocery store.)

Tater Tots Substitution

If you don’t have tater tots, you can use frozen hashbrowns or even hashbrown patties instead.

Can you freeze this casserole?

Yes, you can make this ahead of time and store it, covered, in the freezer. When you are ready to eat it, just put it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Then heat it back up in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
