Can I double this recipe for more casserole?
You can! If you double everything just make sure to use a 9×13 casserole dish. Everything should fit in there perfectly.
The first few times I made the bacon version of Breakfast Loaded Tater Tot Casserole I made it in a 9×13 dish. Same cooking time, just double the ingredients.

Do you think this would do well being made ahead and frozen? Thanks! Can’t wait to try it!
Yep! For casseroles like this I like to let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then baked.
Any thoughts on doubling this – maybe baking in a large 9×13?
You could totally double it 🙂
I am making this right now. Made a couple changes though – I doubled the recipe and used a 9×13 pan and also skipped the onion powder and added some fresh onions and green peppers. Cannot wait to try it!
Hello! Can’t wait to try this today. Do I just put in frozen tater tots? Or should I bake them before hand?
Yep, just put the in frozen 🙂
If you make & freeze do you put in all the cheese and sausage and bake all at once instead of adding later?
Yep! I make it as if I was getting ready to bake it but instead of baking it I freeze it.
Do you know if you can freeze leftovers? It is fantastic!
You sure can! I’m so glad that you like it!
