Country Breakfast Bowl

 

This breakfast bowl is filling and filled with many of my favorite breakfast foods. The crunchy tater tots are the base of this bowl they are then topped with scrambled eggs which are topped with creamy sausage gravy and a generous sprinkling of cheese on top. So delicious and so filling. 

The amount of servings this will make depends on how much of each ingredient you put into your bowl. I tried to base the amount of each ingredient off of the my Homemade Sausage Gravy recipe, which serves 8 and the fact that I do not want a partial bag of tater tots sitting in my freezer. Every time I make this I also hope I end up with "equal" portions of the ingredients. However, it always seems I end up with tater tots and shredded cheese left, but no eggs or sausage gravy.
