Preparation
- Start by prepping your ingredients. Chop the pickles finely, and if you choose to add any optional toppings like tomatoes or onions, slice them accordingly.
Cooking
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.

- Layer the tater tots on top of the beef and pickle mixture, spreading them out evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the tater tots.
- Add optional toppings like sliced tomatoes or onions if using.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes until tater tots are golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
Serving
- Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes, then top generously with fresh shredded lettuce and drizzle with Thousand Island dressing before serving.
