# How to Make It:
01 -
Bake tater tots according to package directions until crispy and golden. Keep warm.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.

Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in flour to form a roux and cook for 1 minute.
04 -
Slowly pour in the warm milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir into the gravy. Keep warm on low heat.

Place a generous serving of tater tots in a bowl, ladle hot sausage gravy over them, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately for the ultimate breakfast comfort meal.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For best results, ensure tater tots are extra crispy to hold up under the gravy.
02 -
The gravy can be made ahead and reheated gently with a splash of milk if needed.
