Sheet Pan Tater Tot Bake
"What could be better than tater tots, truly? A casserole that combines tots with peppers, onions, bacon, herbs, chiles, and cheese, obviously. Try this revamp on your taters and you may never go back to your plain ol’ tots. This breakfast bake feeds a crowd and comes together in a matter of minutes."
