Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the ground beef, diced onions and All Purpose Seasoning. Cook and crumble the beef with a spoon for 6-7 minutes or until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.

Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding all of the ingredients to a bowl and whisking until combined. Set aside.

Once the beef is cooked and drained, reserve ⅓ cup of the sauce and set aside. Add the remaining Big Mac Sauce to the pan and stir until combined.

Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 13×9 baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Add the shredded cheese in a single layer on top of the beef.

Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.

Remove the casserole from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and chopped pickles. Drizzle with the reserved sauce before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Ground Beef Thoroughly 🍖
Break the beef into small, uniform pieces and cook until deeply browned on all sides before adding seasonings—this develops rich, savory flavors that anchor the entire casserole.
Make Big Mac Sauce in Advance 🍔
Prepare your special sauce (mayonnaise, relish, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and seasonings) at least 2 hours ahead and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
Don't Preheat Tater Tots 🥔
Add frozen tater tots directly to the casserole just before baking so they crisp perfectly on top without becoming soggy or overcooked during the casserole's cooking time.
Layer Cheese Strategically 🧀
Reserve half your triple cheddar blend to sprinkle over the tater tots in the final 5 minutes of baking for a golden, crispy cheese crust that doesn't burn.
Toast Sesame Seeds Separately ✨
Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes and sprinkle them on top just before serving to maximize their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming bitter during baking.
