Grubmasters's video: Dutch Oven Easy Cheesy Tater Tot Egg Bake

Easy cheesy camp "dump and go" egg bake casserole. Who doesn't like Tater Tots??? A childhood favorite makes the base for this Dutch Oven casserole. A special thanks to my good friend Patty for introduced me to this dish. She makes it up ahead of time and leaves it in a casserole dish overnight for an easy morning bake in the oven. Since we believe that anything you can cook in a home oven can also be made in a Dutch Oven, I adapted it into an easy cheesy camp breakfast.    Ingredients for a 6 quart 12 inch "regular" Dutch Oven:   1 bag of tater tots 12 Large Eggs 1 lb breakfast sausage 1/2 cup milk 3 cups shredded cheddar (reserve 1 cup) 1 bunch green onion, chopped fine (reserve 1/2) Pinch of salt and pepper   Instructions:   * Brown the sausage (I do it ahead of time a lot). You can also use brown and serve links cut to buttons, but I prefer the sausage you brown yourself. * Lay enough tater tots on the bottom of the Dutch Oven to make an even layer. Apparently, you will have plenty left over :) * Crack 12 eggs into a 1 gallon zip lock bag. Add sausage, 2 cups of cheese, milk, and half of the green onions to the same zip lock. Zip the bag shut and verify it is sealed. Then "moosh" it all together, you may need to remove some trapped air from the bag if this proves difficult. Once the eggs are scrambled and everything is incorporated, drizzle mixture on top of your tots as evenly as possible. I then use the bag to move the mixture around evenly and press down some big pieces of sausage. * Bake using the "Ring Method" for about 45 minutes. https://youtu.be/tvaJrY4BouY * Once the egg is set, and you can see some bubbling on the edges, add the remaining cup of cheese in an even layer on top. Add any remaining coals you have to the lid of the oven and replace for about 5 minutes. Keep peeking, you want to melt the cheese and not scorch it. * Add remaining scallion to top as a garnish and enjoy! Adapt the recipe with bacon or perhaps cubed up corned beef or ham. Add different veggies (I would soften them ahead though)… have fun with it!
