      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.
