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 Chick-fil-A sauce)
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to broil on high. This high heat will melt the cheese quickly and create a bubbly, golden finish on the totchos.
- Assemble the Base: Spread the cooked tater tots evenly in a 9×13-inch baking sheet. Sprinkle the cooked ground beef evenly over the tots, then lay the slices of American cheese evenly on top.
- Broil the Totchos: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbling. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Add Toppings: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle or dollop the hamburger sauce over the hot cheesy totchos, then garnish with sliced pickles and shredded lettuce for added freshness and crunch.
- Serve: Portion out the totchos while hot and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the ground beef is well cooked and seasoned to your preference before assembling.
- Keep a close eye while broiling as cheese can burn quickly under high heat.
- Feel free to customize toppings with diced tomatoes, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the crispy tots and melted cheese.
