Delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for flavor)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 2 cups tater tots (frozen, for topping)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (for flavoring)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup pickles (sliced, for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons mustard (for mixing)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

    Use a spatula to break the beef into small pieces.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine cooked beef, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, milk, and optional onions and tomatoes.

    Mix well to ensure even distribution of seasoning.
  4. Add Cheese

    Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture.

    Reserve the other half for topping.
  5. Assemble the Casserole

    Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish and spread tater tots evenly on top.

    Arrange tater tots in a single layer for best results.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown.

    Check occasionally to avoid over-browning.
  7. Add Remaining Cheese

    Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.

    Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve

    Garnish with sliced pickles if desired and serve hot.

    Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
