Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pound bag of frozen tater tots, cooked
- 1 pound ground beef, cooked
- 5 slices American cheese
Toppings
- 1/2 cup hamburger sauce (secret sauce, such as Hidden Valley, Great Value, or Chik Fil A sauce)
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to broil on high to prepare for melting the cheese quickly and achieving a bubbly, golden finish on your totchos.
- Assemble the Base: Spread the cooked tater tots evenly on a 9×13-inch baking sheet. Sprinkle the cooked ground beef evenly over the tots and then lay the slices of American cheese on top.
- Broil the Totchos: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Add Toppings: Remove the baking sheet carefully from the oven. Drizzle or dollop hamburger sauce over the hot cheesy tots, then add sliced pickles and shredded lettuce for a fresh crunch.
- Serve: Portion out the totchos while hot and enjoy immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Keep a close watch while broiling to avoid burning the cheese.
- You can substitute American cheese with cheddar or your favorite cheese for variety.
- Make sure the tater tots and ground beef are fully cooked before assembling.
