Servings:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. (The foil is not required, but it does make cleanup very simple.) Spread the bacon strips out across the sheet and crumble them a bit.
Place the tray of bacon on the middle oven rack. Set a timer for 16 minutes to check the bacon. Depending on the thickness of the bacon, it might take as long as 20-22 minutes.
Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like. Use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. When the bacon is cool, crumble or chop it very small.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter and set aside.
Place the tater tots in the baking dish, along with the cooked bacon and 2 cups of cheese. Stir to combine.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots in the baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 55-60 minutes until the eggs have set and the top is golden brown around the edges. Serve warm.
