Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy are full of sausage, scrambled eggs, tater tots, and cheese rolled up in a flour tortilla and covered with a creamy sausage gravy.
Everything tastes better with sausage gravy. 🙂
Biscuits and Gravy, along with Chicken and Waffles, is the ultimate southern breakfast. A creamy gravy with sausage crumbles is so delicious. So I thought, why not top breakfast enchiladas with sausage gravy? Seemed like a great idea and it was.
These breakfast enchiladas take a little time to prepare but they feed a crowd and are perfect for a special brunch. They also reheat well.
How To Make
You’ll have to make the sausage gravy, make the scrambled eggs, and cook the tater tots. The amazing filling includes crumbled breakfast sausage, crispy tater tots, scrambled eggs and shredded cheese.
It gets rolled up in flour tortillas and placed in a baking dish. Sausage gravy and shredded cheddar cheese cover the enchiladas and the baking dish is popped in the oven until everything is bubbly and golden.
Tips For Making Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy
- I quickly cook the tater tots in my Air Fryer.
- You can assemble the enchiladas the night before. Just add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.
- You can top these Breakfast Enchiladas with salsa and cilantro if you like.
- Serve with hot sauce to up the heat. I personally like Chipotle TABASCO. It is less spicy than regular TABASCO and has a great smoky flavor.

Made these for work, everyone LOVED them!! I did add a can of drained Ro-tel tomatoes to the filling mixture, as well as cumin and some garlic and pepper season salt to the gravy (the recipe doesn’t call for ANY salt or pepper!). DELICIOUS!!
Delicious breakfast – my hubbys favorite!
My favorite breakfast recipe!
These were delicious! Definitely a keeper! One thing I will change for next time is to put some kind of sauce under the enchiladas like a lot of enchilada recipes do. The bottom of each of these enchiladas was too hard to cut (Still edible and very delicious though). I made these for dinner last night and I’m going to go reheat some leftovers for breakfast right now!
yes…. good stuff
These look really good just one question, can they be made the night before and baked the next morning or even done in a crockpot?
That’s what I did so that they were hot out of the oven that morning when I took them to work
Could you use shredded hash browns instead?
You mentioned that the tater tots were crispy, are they supposed to be pre-cooked?
Yes, precook the tater tots in the oven or an Air Fryer.
Could this be frozen?
YUp frozen..
Really really tasty!
I’m making ssg gravy this week. I’m gonna save some and make this. Reminds me of a old fashioned garbage plate. Should be super tasty. Thanks for posting
I make these and also use velveeta cheese sauce inside of them
That’s more Southern than speed dating at a family reunion!
