Preheat your oven to (425°F (218°C).
Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan, then place the hash browns or Tator Tots into the pan.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of oil over the hash browns or Tator Tots.
Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 25 minutes.
Beat the eggs with the milk. Add salt and pepper.
Remove from oven, and pour 1/2 of the egg mixture over the hash browns.
Put the meat of your choice on top of this layer. I used both cooked sausage and cooked bacon on mine.
Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the meat layer.
Pour the remaining egg mixture on top of the meat layer.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the final layer.
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (176°C)
Bake at 350°F = 176°C for 40-50 minutes uncovered, or until the eggs set.
