# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9x13 dish with non-stick spray so nothing sticks.
02 -
In the dish you just sprayed, layer the tater tots, the diced ham, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar, and all the mozzarella. Use your hands to gently toss it into an even layer.
03 -
Use a big bowl to whisk the eggs, milk, sour cream, and all the seasonings, including hot sauce if you want a kick. Make sure it’s smooth and well-blended.
04 -
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the ham and tater tot layer in your dish. Try to spread it evenly.
05 -
Cook in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the top has a golden look and the mixture is set.
06 -
Take it out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheddar cheese over the hot casserole. Put it back in the oven for 5 more minutes, just until the cheese melts.
