One of my favorites when it comes to breakfast are delicious casseroles, even better when they can be prepped ahead.  This one is perfect as we head into the holidays for Christmas morning or to make on a busy weekend.

This Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is a wonderful option for breakfast and it’s easy to make naturally gluten-free too.

How do you make Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole into a gluten-free casserole?

This delicious casserole is easy to make gluten-free by simply being sure all your ingredients are in fact gluten-free.  These are all naturally gluten-free ingredients, but as always you want to double-check when you purchase ingredients.

The one thing we find that isn’t always gluten-free are tater tots; however, you can easily find ones that are.  We typically use Ore-Ida Tater Tots and those do say they are gluten-free; however, as always check your ingredients first. 

How do you make Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole ahead?

This casserole can be prepped ahead, go ahead and prepare the entire dish as instructed, but do not bake it.  Be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.

When you are ready to bake it, go ahead and let it sit out for about 20-30 minutes and then bake per the recipe instructions. 

Tips for Making Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole:

A few other tips to make this process very quickly, prepare the sausage, bacon, and peppers ahead.  This could even mean cooking them ahead and then freezing until you are ready to serve.  There are a variety of ways to cut down on prep time for this recipe.

I’ve found the easiest way to do it is to prepare the night before and then bake in the morning.

If you want to skip all the work altogether, go for a recipe that is made in the crockpot such as this Crockpot Breakfast Casserole.
