      Title: Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole
 Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Potatoes, Cheese
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      2 lb Ground beef
    3/4 c  Sweet pickles; sliced,
           - 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  Cheddar cheese; shredded,
           - divided
 
  Set the oven @ 350 F/175 C.
  
  Grease a 13x9" 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 to 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 to 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.
