Sausage Tot Brunch Bites is an easy one pot dish that is delicious as an appetizer or for breakfast or brunch. Reduce the recipe size to use up leftover tater tots.

Make these flavorful Sausage Tot Brunch Bites for breakfast, brunch, brinner or even as an appetizer. They can be made ahead for a party, or whip up a smaller batch with leftover tater tots and sausage.

I cooked up extra tater tots one night just so I could make this recipe for breakfast the next day. Just cut the recipe in half, thirds or quarters depending on how many tots you have and use a smaller skillet.

Don't you just love planned leftover recipes?

About the Ingredients for Sausage Tot Brunch Bites

For the tater tots: I prefer the flat tater tot circles to the full cylinder tots for these. Depending on the brand they can be called tater rounds, crowns or circles.

For the sausage: Use whatever flavor you like, since the bulk of the flavor for these is coming from the sausage.

You can use a loose sausage like breakfast or Italian sausage like I did. Or opt for a harder precooked sausage like kielbasa, chorizo, linguica, etc. Crumble the loose sausage and dice the precooked varieties.
