Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large casserole dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick spray.
Cook the bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7-10 minutes, and drain excess fat.
Whisk together eggs and milk in a mixing bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste until frothy.
Combine the cooked meat, bell peppers, onions, and shredded cheese with the egg mixture.
Layer half of the tater tots in the casserole dish, pour half of the egg mixture over them, then repeat.
Bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown and set in the center. Serve warm.
