Open in Pepper →A pound of ground beef, some onion, and a pile of cheese will feed a whole table, and nobody has to stand at the stove flipping patties. Bake it all in one dish and dinner comes out hot at the same time.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights the kids are hungry an hour early, when the fridge has ground beef and not much else, or when everyone wants burgers but it's too cold to stand outside at the grill.
Every recipe here is a real cheeseburger casserole — Big Mac Tater Tot Casserole with the crispy tots on top, Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole, a plain Cheeseburger Casserole with garlic and onion powder, BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, and a high protein, low carb version.
Brown and drain the beef
Cook the ground beef 6 to 8 minutes until no pink is left, then pour off the grease so the casserole doesn't turn oily.
Bake tater tots uncovered
Leave the foil off for the last 20 minutes at 400°F so the tots on top get brown and crisp instead of steaming soft.
Add cheese at the end
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top in the last 5 to 8 minutes so it melts without going rubbery or greasy.
Let it rest before serving
Give the dish 10 minutes on the counter after it comes out so it sets up and scoops instead of sliding apart.
