Ingredients:

• 24 tater tots
• 16 ounces pork breakfast sausage
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 4 large hamburger buns

Instructions:

1. Cook the tater tots according to the package directions (usually 400°F for 15 minutes).
2. In a large skillet, cook the pork sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes. Drain most of the excess fat.
3. Add flour to the skillet and whisk well until combined, then cook for 30 seconds.
4. Stir in the salt, pepper, cream cheese, and milk, whisking until the mixture is creamy. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted, add the eggs and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until set. Flip and cook for an additional 15 seconds.
7. To assemble each sloppy joe: Place the bottom bun on a plate, top with scrambled eggs, a slice of American cheese, a scoop of sausage gravy, cooked tater tots, a dollop of ketchup, and the top bun.

Notes:

• Customize your sloppy joes by adding additional toppings such as crispy bacon, sliced avocado, or hot sauce.
• These sloppy joes can also be enjoyed as a brunch or breakfast-for-dinner option.
