Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up; drain excess fat.
Spread frozen tater tots evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer cooked sausage over the tater tots.
Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese over sausage.
Whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl until combined.
Pour egg mixture evenly over layers in the baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is golden brown (knife inserted comes out clean).
Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.

Substitute mild sausage for less spice or turkey sausage for a leaner option.

Swap tater tots with hash browns or diced potatoes if desired.

Add veggies like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms for extra nutrition.

Use different cheeses such as pepper jack or gouda to vary flavor.

Make dairy-free by using plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.

Make ahead by assembling the casserole, refrigerating overnight, and baking the next day.
