Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

I make this for every holiday morning-- Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's delicious and filling so it keeps my family from being hungry until it's time for the big meal. They are so used to having this on holiday mornings, I think they would feel it wasn't a holiday without it. I love how it keeps bellies full so I can keep cooking in the kitchen. No more asking, "When are we eating?"
