Equipment

– Large skillet
Mixing bowl
Spatula or wooden spoon
9×13 baking dish
Oven

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 small onion, diced
0.25 cup chopped dill pickles or dill relish
0.5 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
2–3 cups frozen tater tots or hash browns
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until fully browned. Drain any grease.
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped pickles.
Pour half of this sauce into the skillet with the beef and mix well.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Top with frozen tater tots or hash browns, spreading evenly.
Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crispy.
Drizzle remaining sauce over the top and garnish with extra pickles if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Swap tater tots for hash browns or cauliflower for a low-carb version. Add jalapeños for heat, or bacon for extra flavor. You can prep it a day ahead and bake before serving. Pairs well with salad or roasted vegetables.
