Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Spread the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage and vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tater tots, sausage, and vegetables in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
