How to make Big Mac Tater Tot Casserole
- Step 1: In a small mixing bowl mix together the ingredients needed for the creamy Big Mac sauce: mayo, ketchup, sweet relish, white vinegar, onion powder, and salt.
- Step 2: In a large skillet that is oven safe, add ground beef and onions and cook until browned. Drain off excess fat.
- Step 3: Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the ground beef mixture, and stir.
- Step 4: Add shredded cheese and homemade Big Mac sauce to the meat mixture and stir.
- Step 5: Cover the filling with a layer of American cheese slices.
- Step 6: Place a layer of tater tots on top of the casserole evenly. Bake uncovered until you have golden brown, crispy tater tots on top. Garnish with lettuce, pickle slices, onions and serve.
Recipe Tips
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, follow steps 1-4 using a regular skillet and then transfer the mixture to a baking dish and continue on with the recipe instructions.
- Make sure you use full fat cheese. Low-fat cheese doesn’t melt as nicely.
- I’d wait to add the lettuce to your casserole until serving each plate. If you add it on and let it sit, it can get soggy quickly.
- Instead of iceberg lettuce, you can make this casserole and serve it on a big bed of lettuce for a Big Mac Salad.
- You can add some sesame seeds to tie in the last of the classic flavors you expect in a Big Mac sandwich.
- Feel free to add your favorite burger toppings.
