• 4 jalapeno peppers, sliced

• ½ an onion, diced

2. Spray a casserole dish with food release and set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage, sliced jalapenos, diced onions, and minced garlic. Once the sausage mixture is cooked thoroughly, set aside when done.

3. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the cream, half the cheese, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

4. Add the sausage mixture to the bottom of the casserole dish, add the cooked tater tots, top with the egg mixture, and then cover with the rest of the cheese. If necessary, mix everything before adding the cheese to ensure the egg mixture is spread throughout the casserole dish.
