    Oh my goodness! You had me at cheese and bacon! This looks fabulous and I will definately be adding hot sauce on my plate. We are jalapeno junkies(we grow fresh every year and can them also) so I may even sprinkle some of those on top with the extra cheese. 😉 YUM! Thanks!

  2. I see the recipe calls for a 1/2 bag of tater tots. These are available in many different bag sizes where I live, What bag size are you referring to please? Thank you!

  3. Mary – This would be gluten free, as long as the tater tots you use are. Ore Ida brand is almost 100% gluten free. To be sure, look at the package – they are good about clearly marking them "gluten free." Usually it's on the side at the bottom.

    If you start Super Bowl Sunday off early (we do) this would be a great kick off (no pun intended) to the day.

    This looks awesome. It would be a great addition to any Super Bowl party buffet. We are hosting a Snacks for Super Bowl XLIX party. I hope you can run on over and share this.

    Wishes for tasty dishes,
    Linda

  5. Oh Brandie, this does look luscious. I'm a big fan of breakfast. Pinning and will definitely try this soon. Thanks for sharing. Your white lacy plate is just gorgeous too! =)

  6. Oh my goodness! There are very few things I like better for breakfast than a good, easy recipe! This just fits the bill. MMMmmm… You are awesome!

  7. This sounds wonderful. I have four grown grandsons who love me to cook breakfast for them. I usually make a breakfast casserole, then biscuits and gravy. I will have ingredients to make this next time. Can't wait.

  8. Anonymous, I wouldn't recommend refrigerating this ahead of time. I'm sorry! But the good news is, it preps VERY quickly. You could make the bacon ahead of time and have everything ready to go so you just have to throw it together in the morning and pop in the oven!

  9. Anonymous, about the egg beaters and 2% cheese – um, I've never done it that way. I like the full benefits of real eggs and full fat cheese. I just eat less. But if you try it – I'd love to know how it comes out for you! 🙂

  10. Mary, that's totally not a dumb question! I honestly do not know. I don't follow a gluten-free diet and I'm not really familiar enough with it to be 100% certain. I can't imagine this has any gluten but if someone has Celiac disease and therefore follows a gluten-free diet then they can actually have a horrible reaction to any little tiny bit of gluten. If they are, I would tell them the ingredients so they can make the decision whether to eat it. My experience with folks with Celiac Disease at a potluck is they only eat the food that they bring to be completely safe!. But gluten-free is also a popular diet choice right now and in that case, most of those folks will just ask what is in something and they are very familiar with what does or doesn't have gluten in it. I'm sorry I'm not more help!

  11. This sounds so good! I need to make a casserole for brunch at church this weekend… and I have a dumb question. Is this gluten free? We have a couple people at church that are gluten free and I'd love it if they could have this

  12. This sounds awesome! I have to watch calorie and sugar intake, do you think it would taste just as good if we used egg beaters and 2% shredded cheese?

  13. Always looking for breakfast dishes that can be put together the night before, refrigerated, then baked in the morning. Can I do it with this recipe?

  14. Melissa, I don't want to keep bragging on it – but I'm gonna anyway 😉 It really was so good. I just know you will love it! I had some for lunch too! Ha! We had a box of fresh Florida oranges and we made some fresh-squeezed orange juice. Best breakfast ever!
