Can I Make this Breakfast Casserole Be Made Ahead of Time?
If you want to save a few steps in the morning to make this tater tot casserole ahead of time, you can prepare everything up to adding the tater tots to the casserole. You do not want to add them until you are ready to bake them. Because the tater tots should be frozen for baking, and because they will get soggy if soaked overnight.
Can I Use any Other Cheese in this Recipe?
I think that cheddar cheese works best in this recipe although pepper jack will also taste fantastic. You can use whatever shredded cheese you like best.
