Title: Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Potatoes, Cheese
Yield: 6 servings

2 lb Ground beef
3/4 c Sliced sweet pickles;
- chopped
1 sm Onion; chopped
1 cl Garlic; minced
1 1/2 c Thousand Island salad
- dressing; divided
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
32 oz Bag frozen Tater Tots
2 1/2 c Shredded cheddar cheese;
- divided

Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Grease a 13" X 9" baking dish. I like to grease pans
with softened butter, but you could also use olive oil
or a neutral oil such as grape seed, sunflower or
canola.

Place your Dutch oven over medium heat and add the
ground beef, pickles, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring,
until the onions have softened and the beef is no longer
pink, 6-8 minutes. While you're stirring, make sure to
break up bigger hunks of ground beef into smaller
crumbles.

Remove the beef mixture from the heat and stir in 1 cup
of the salad dressing and the salt and pepper. Then, add
the frozen Tater Tots and 2 cups of the shredded cheddar
cheese. Mix everything together and pour the combo into
the greased baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, until the Tots are hot, around 35-40
minutes. Top with the remaining cheese, and bake until
the cheese is melted, an additional 5 minutes. Drizzle
the top of the casserole with the extra 1/2 cup
dressing, garnish with extra pickles if desired, and
serve.
