Recipe Tips for Making the Best Gluten Free Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

  • Are Tater Tots Gluten Free? Yes, they are… But while most tater tots are gluten-free, it is important to always check the label. There could be brands that add wheat flour.
  • How do you store this breakfast casserole? Cover the casserole and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Can you freeze this breakfast casserole? This casserole can be frozen. First bake your breakfast casserole and once it has completely cooled, place in an airtight container or ziplock bag. When ready to warm up, place in oven and bake at 350 degrees until warmed through about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • What’s the best sausage to use for breakfast casseroles?  I use mild or spicy Italian Sausage but any type of ground sausage will work well. If using regular link sausages you’ll need remove the the sausage from the casing before cooking it.
  • Use frozen tater tots for this recipe. 
  • Seasoning Feel free to add whatever seasoning that your family likes. I sometimes add a little garlic and onion powder to add a little extra flavour.
