Preheat oven according to tater tot package instructions. Arrange tots on baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy.
Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, stirring occasionally. Drain excess grease leaving about 2 tbsp.
Sprinkle flour over sausage, stirring continuously for 2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in milk to prevent lumps. Simmer until gravy thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and optional hot sauce.
Divide crispy tots into bowls. Ladle sausage gravy over tots.
Top with shredded cheddar, green onions, and fried eggs if desired. Serve immediately.

Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella cheese.

Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to gravy for extra flavor.

Use turkey sausage for leaner option.

Spice gravy with cayenne or hot sauce.

Replace tater tots with hash browns or roasted potatoes.
