<p>Very Good.  I used regular ham instead of Canadian Bacon and it was very good.  I did make it the day before and refrigerated it overnight, took it out about 20 minutes before the oven was heated up and it turned out great.</p>

The whole family enjoyed this, even my 6 and 4 year old who don’t usually care for casseroles. We used a 13x9 dish so I added an extra egg and roughly an extra 1/2 cup of cheese. I also used a 28 oz bag of Tater Tots instead of measuring them out. Served with a side salad. Overall it was good. Next time I might add more garlic powder. I imagine it would taste good with breakfast sausage or bacon as well. I will add this to our regular rotation!

I made some cheese/meat variations based on what I had on hand.  Used 6oz of cubed ham instead of the Canadian Bacon.  Also added 7 slices of Applewood smoked crisped bacon (crumbled) - onion cooked in 1 Tbsp bacon grease.  I used about 4 oz leftover goat cheese, Gouda, and 4-cheese Mexican blend to equal 1.5 cups of cheese.  This is a great base recipe to make your own.  The possibilities are endless...Chorizo, breakfast sausage, smoked sausage, you name it.  It will all work.  Served with a side salad, no complaints.  Maybe next time I'll add some wilted, drained spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to give it more of a complete-meal feel.  Great base for future experiments!

This recipe will replace my previous go-to breakfast casserole recipe. It's fantastic. Great flavor. Sets up really nicely. My husband loved it. The only adjustment I made was to use 1 lb. of pork breakfast sausage instead of the Canadian bacon because that's all I had. Great recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. My 10 year old grandson ate several helpings and wanted to take some home. Definitely worth the effort. Great for brunch or side dishes!

I was looking for a kid-friendly breakfast casserole for overnight guests and figured something with tater tots was worth a try. My husband and I had it for dinner just to try it out and it was very good.  I used Egg Beaters instead of the eggs and non-fat evaporated milk instead of half-and-half to cut back on the fat for us. The tater tots kind of blend into the casserole so you really don't realize they are there except for the nice potato taste. I do not plan to make any adjustments to this recipe and will definitely make it again. Thank you, Nancy, for a yummy recipe that is just what I was looking for!

Yum! Nice change from my usual dinners. I used Jones Turkey Breakfast Sausage, onion powder, and raw half & half milk. Baked for 30 minutes & let sit in turned off oven 5 minutes. I think 1/4 teaspoon dill weed would be a great addition.

Fantastic. Used 3 oz Canadian bacon and 1/2 lb hot sausage, its what i had on hand. I used a slightly larger pan so i added an extra egg.  No leftovers
