Preheat your oven and cook the tater tots according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the flour with the sausage and cook for 1 minute until absorbed. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for about 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Once the tater tots are ready, place them in a bowl. Pour the sausage gravy generously over the tater tots.
Serve immediately while the tater tots are crispy and the gravy is hot.

For extra protein, top with fried or scrambled eggs.

Sprinkle shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella on top of the gravy for added flavor.

For a lighter version, swap breakfast sausage with turkey sausage.

For a spicy twist, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the gravy.

Make it vegetarian by using plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms.

For a sweet and savory combination, drizzle with maple syrup.

Try seasoned tater tots or sweet potato tots for different flavors.
