Crock Pot Tater Tot Egg Bake ~ Overnight Crock Pot Egg Bake Stuffed with Tater Tots, Canadian Bacon, Eggs & Cheese!
Let’s talk egg bakes. I’m sorta, kinda particular about them.
I hate them with bread, but I’m all about them with potatoes. It’s just a texture thing I’m thinking. The bread comes across as mushy to me. Mushy is a no go in Julie’s life. Texture can totally put me off a recipe. But if you throw potatoes in an egg bake I’m eating up hand over fist. Anyone else feel like this about bread in egg bakes?
It started as a young child and I haven’t ever tried bread egg bake again. I think I’ve maybe, mostly likely made this a huge deal in my mind and it’s really not but now I have a irrational fear of trying it. Ridiculous huh?
As ridiculous as it might be I’m going to leave it be unless I’m forced into eating an egg bake with bread so if you want to torture me please invite me over and see me squirm when you feed me this. It will be great entertaining… for you. Not me.
This egg bake is loaded with Tater Tots to replace the bread obviously peeps, Canadian bacon and cheese. I mean it’s kind of a wining combination you shouldn’t mess with. Everything is way better with cheese right? Ask my hubs he’s totally in agreement with this. Plus you throw it together the night before and wake up to a home baked breakfast. I mean people we could get really wild and treat your family to an awesome breakfast during the week. I mean that’s wild in my life. To replace the bowl of cereal with an Egg Bake? Total craziness. Anyone with me?
Or it’s a great treat on Christmas morning. Or Saturday morning. Or Sunday morning.
Say what? Did I just say CHRISTMAS!? Gasp. How can that be on my radar already. Totally thinking of the future, way future there but hey give it a Pin and save it for then because I’m right. It would be pretty awesome on Christmas morning.
Speaking of Christmas. I bought my first Christmas present last week. Who’s pretty impressed? You should be!

I want to make this Christmas morning, but it will only be my husband and I. If I half the recipe would I still cook it as long?
No I would only cook it 4-6 hours.
I make the half recipe, and let it go for eight hours. I don’t know if it would be better with the shorter cooking cycle, but it’s delicious, and not dried out.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s just my husband and me too, but I think I’m going to try to make the whole recipe and then just freeze leftovers in individual portions for future breakfasts during the week. Can’t wait to try this!
Let me know how it turns out Bethany!
We shared your crockpot tater tot egg bake in our recipe roundup: 13 Crockpot Breakfasts for Christmas Morning! http://www.theshoppingmama.com/2014/12/13-crock-pot-breakfasts-for-christmas-morning/
Share on social media for even more eyes on this recipe! Thanks for the great idea!
I feel the exact same way!! If I see a recipe that looks awesome then I read it has bread chunks in it I won’t make it. Yours……I will definitely make. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Haha you will love this then! I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Does anybody actually comment AFTER they make these recipes? Not one person has said how it actually tasted, just how great it sounds. Why doesn’t someone make the recipe first and then comment?
I would love it if you would make a recipe and come back an comment on the post, but unfortunately I can’t make people give feedback once they try it. A lot of times people forget to come back and leave comments!
I was thinking the same thing. Well, it’s in my crockpot right this very minute for a work breakfast tomorrow. I will do my best to get back and let you know how it turns out.
MADE IT…last weekend with a few minor adjustments. Since my kiddos hate onions and we do not eat pork, I left those out. I did however put in diced kosher bologna. This recipe lends itself to being made according to one’s taste.
The kids and my hubby LOVED it! It was enough for my picky family of 6 and it was very convenient, especially for a weekend breakfast, ESPECIALLY when you have a new baby!
The kids even ate it without ketchup…that says a lot.
An easy no mess-no fuss delicious recipe that I’m actually making a second time tonight (with kosher hotdog wieners).
Julie I thank you from the bottom of my sleep deprived heart!
Oh I’m so incredibly happy that you enjoyed it! From one mother to another… I know how trying those sleepless nights can be!
Julie, I’ve made this a couple times more and it always turns out great. Since my husband and I are the only ones that love omelette with veggies I decided to try putting in diced onions, bell pepper and tomatoes only on one side of the slow cooker and hope for the best. I couldn’t possibly make two of these in one night with only one slow-cooker, right? Right!
And guess what! It worked.
The kids didn’t even know they were cooked together as the flavors of the veggies didn’t infuse throughout.
(FYI: used a 7qt oblong slow-cooker
Thanks a million…again 😉
Sounds good will try to make them helthey think i will ad spinach cheese
Have you ever tried this with diced potatoes? My kids are on an all natural diet, so we can’t use the tater tots.
I haven’t but I would think it would work! If you do let me know!
I made this today, minus the onion, we have not tasted it yet but the whole outside and bottom are burnt. I put it in the crockpot this morning and had it on 10 hour low setting for 8 hours. When I came home it was burnt and the whole house smells.
I’m sorry you had this experience Roxanne. I cooked mine on low for 8 hours and I didn’t have any trouble. Crock Pots tend to heat differently also. From your comment I can’t tell if you left it in for 10 hours?
Made this with smoked sausage and added bell peppers and garlic. Did 5 hours on low and 3 on warm because I had to hold it. Delish!
Great changes! I bet it was delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it Vicki!
Did you pre cook the smoked sausage first??
Rachel – I’m not sure what you are referring too? The diced Canadian Bacon comes in a package that is precooked.
Smoked sausage is precooked so j just sliced it and threw it in.
Vicki, Did you cook the sausage before adding it to the crock pot?
Thanks for the recipe! I would love to add mushrooms, but worry that the liquid from them would make it runny. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Anyone try it with mushrooms?
Thanks!!
I’ve never tried it with mushrooms. Are you thinking fresh or canned. Just make sure to drain the canned mushrooms if you use them!
Can someone tell what are tot tarts?
Tater tots are shredded potatoes formed into a small ball shape and deep fried. They are found in the frozen food section near the french fries. Pretty much any shredded potatoes should work. Although there will be a difference in texture.
If I use sausage instead of canadian bacon — should I cook the sausage first?
Yes!
It’s important to note that the tater tots break down during the cooking process. I had a rather disgruntled young man on my hands who was convinced I had forgotten to put tater tots in the crock pot. I had to dig the empty bag out of the trash to convince him. LOL! But he got over the disappointment as he happily shoveled it down. I made it according to the recipe, except for substituting regular diced ham for the canadian ham (and increasing the amount) and adding a teaspoon or so of dry mustard.
Yes you are correct the Tater Tots do break down! Glad you were able to suffice the kid and enjoy it 🙂 🙂
Made this over the weekend and thought it was very good. I was short by 4 eggs so I added an extra half cup of milk and it worked out fine. It’s especially good with some hot sauce!
So glad you could adapt it to what you had on hand!
Is it possible to mix all the ingredients ahead of time and freeze them, then thaw and throw in the crock pot?
QUESTION: 1. Could I use frozen hash browns instead of tots? 2. Could I use regular bacon or regular or spicy Owens breakfast sausage instead of Canadian bacon? 3. Would you precook them?
Has anyone made a batch and half of this? Need to feed around 12 people? Thinking it would work just have to cook longer?
As long as you have a crock pot to fit it into this will work fine. I would go with the closer to eight hour cooking time though!
