In a very large skillet, cook sausage on medium high heat, breaking up the meat while browning. When cooked through, drain; layer into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle 2 c. cheese over cooked sausage.
In a large bowl, hand-whisk together the milk, eggs, pepper, onion powder, and salt. When mixed, pour evenly over the cheese and sausage in baking dish. Layer top with frozen tater tots. If not baking right away, cover tightly with foil; chill in refrigerator until the next morning.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack on lower middle position.
When oven reaches 350 degrees, place dish in oven for 35 minutes. Top with additional 1/2 c. cheese, cooked/crumbled bacon, and bake 5-10 minutes or until sides are bubbling and top is golden brown.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Let rest at room temperature 10 minutes. Serve.
