Tired of the same dinner ruts and desire something with a serious comfort resonance? This huge Mac Tater Tot Casserole is the perfect recipe to bring some fun flavors to the table.
It has everything you love about the classic Big Mac with crisp weed groceries on it and a savory, cheesy beef mixture under it. Whether you are feeding the entire family on a busy weekday evening or needing a simple dinner idea on a game day, this is a guaranteed family favorite. The best part? This is an easy recipe that you need to add to your preferred list.
Assemble the casserole a day in advance. If from the refrigerator, add 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
If you want to have a lot of nutrition, feel free to add more toppings. You can add tomatoes, chopped mushrooms, or caramelized onions to give a deeper flavor.
If you prefer to use other cheese varieties, you can swap it to the pepper jack or even spread the beef with slices of American cheese.
I used 85% lean beef in this recipe. You can choose to use a leaner variety or swap the beef for Turkish or plant-based meat for lighter.

Ingredient Notes
- Ground beef – Lean beef makes this dish hearty, juicy and full of protein. For slimmer options, you can replace ground chicken or turkey.
- White onion – Added delicious depth and sweetness to the beef mixture.
- Garlic PowdeR – An easy way to maximize flavor without chopping garlic.
- Pickle – Added a rich crunch.
- Cheddar cheese – When the cheese melts, it creates a sticky layer of melted cheese, which is irresistible.
- Tater Tots – Crispy, golden potato tops give this casserole the perfect texture contrast.
- lettuce – Chopped lettuce adds fresh crunch when sprinkled on top before serving.
- Homemade superstar sauce – This sauce is stellar: creamy, rich and full of flavor, thanks to mayonnaise, tomato sauce, mustard sauce and deliciousness.
