The Ingredients You’re Going to Need
Before you can make this tasty casserole, make sure you have the right ingredients. You’ll need the following:
- Ground Chuck. Use at least two pounds of ground chuck in this casserole.
- Onion. Dice your onion into pieces before you add it in with the other ingredients.
- Tomato Sauce. Grab any brand of tomato sauce. You’ll need one 15-ounce can.
- Cream Cheese. Let your cream cheese sit out for several minutes to soften before using it.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Divide your shredded cheese. You’ll need three cups of it in total.
- Bacon. Cook the bacon, drain it, and then crumble it into pieces.
- Tater Tots. You’ll need a bag of frozen tater tots to complete this recipe.
The other ingredients needed include pepper, salt, Worcestershire sauce, grape tomatoes, and dill pickles. Be sure to cut your tomatoes in quarters and your pickles in half before you add them to the casserole.
Which type of bacon do I need to use?
You can use your favorite brand and flavor of bacon. You can cook it in a frying pan, air fryer, or in the oven. Give your bacon some time to cool down before you begin crumbling into pieces and adding it to your casserole.
Can I use ground turkey in this recipe?
If you’d prefer to make a leaner version of this casserole, ground turkey is an excellent choice. It will taste great with the cheese, tater tots, and bacon.
Can I add veggies to the dish?
You can add some veggies to this dish! Lots of veggies will taste great with the combination of meat, tater tots, and cheese, including peas, diced carrots, and corn. Of course, you don’t need to add anything if you’d prefer to stick with the original recipe.
Will bread and butter pickles taste good in this casserole?
If you don’t have Dill pickles, you can use bread and butter pickles. You might even want to use sweet bread and butter pickles to add a touch of sweetness to your casserole.
How to freeze the Casserole
You know how I love to fill my freezer with lots of freezer meals! This recipe is no different. You can assemble the dinner in a freezer-safe container, then cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, place it in the freezer, and leave it there for a maximum of six months. You’ll need to thaw the Large Family Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole overnight in the refrigerator before you bake it in the oven.
