Touchdown Brunch Casserole

INGREDIENTS

1 (16 Oz) roll of cooked Wampler’s Mild Sausage 

1/4 Cup strongly brewed Cattle Dog Roasters Guatemala Direct Trade Coffee 

1 Tablespoon maple syrup

1 1/2 Cup slightly thawed Tater tots, crumbled

3 Cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided 

1 Cup diced onions

8 eggs

1 1/4 Cup Country sausage gravy (from a 15 oz can )

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x12 pan with cooking spray. Brown the sausage in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spatula. Cover with strong brewed coffee and maple syrup. Continue to stir and cook down until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Press thawed potato puffs into the bottom of the pan. Cover with the crumbled cooked sausage. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese. Top with the diced onions. In a medium bowl, mix sausage gravy and eggs and beat together until well-blended. Pour over layered ingredients. Top with remaining cheese and tap the pan slightly to settle the ingredients. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35-40 minutes until slightly golden on top and the knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
