     Title: Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole
Categories: Beef, Potatoes, Vegetables, Cheese, Sauces
     Yield: 8 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 Tater Tots
 2 1/2 c  Shredded cheddar cheese;
          - divided

 EDITOR’S TIP: Want to make this a one-pot meal? You can
 bake the casserole in your Dutch oven, though the
 finished dish might stick to the sides a bit.

 Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC and grease a 13" X 9" baking
 dish.

 If you have a pretty baking dish that will look nice on
 the table, that’s the one to use! 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.
