Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 2 lb bag frozen tater tots
- ½ cup hamburger dill chips
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 medium tomato diced
- ½ tsp sesame seeds
Burger Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp pickle juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9x13” baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the tater tots in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions (about 25–30 minutes), until golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7–10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well and set aside.
- Remove tots from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 400°F.
- Evenly spoon the beef over the crispy tots. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice to make the burger sauce.
- Once tots are done, remove from the oven and immediately top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, diced tomato, and pickles. Drizzle generously with burger sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
