How to Make Hubby’s Favorite Breakfast Bowl
1. Bake the Tater Tots
Follow the package instructions, but let them get extra golden and crispy. You want that crunch!
2. Cook the Sausage Gravy
Brown the sausage in a skillet, sprinkle in flour, and stir it until absorbed. Pour in milk gradually, stirring constantly until thick and creamy. Add pepper to taste. This gravy is the ingredient that keeps him coming back.
3. Scramble the Eggs
Soft, fluffy, and buttery—just how breakfast should be. Season lightly and don’t overcook.
4. Assemble the Bowl
Layer it up: tots on the bottom, scrambled eggs, then a heavy drizzle of sausage gravy. Top with cheese and green onions. Let the heat melt that cheese to ooey-gooey heaven.
