Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (96/4)
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread and butter pickles, diced small
  • 1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 16 ounces frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • Sesame seeds

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

    Transfer the beef mixture to a 9x13 baking dish. Mix in 1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing, 1/3 cup diced pickles, and 1/2 of the shredded cheese.

  5. 5

    Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top of the beef. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

    Remove from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, remaining diced pickles, a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
