- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
For the Special Sauce:

Instructions
Cook the Beef:
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Prepare the Special Sauce:
- In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, mustard, and vinegar until creamy. Stir half of the sauce into the cooked beef mixture and reserve the rest for topping.
Assemble the Casserole:

Bake:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until tater tots are crisp and golden brown.
Add Toppings & Serve:
- Let the casserole cool slightly. Top with shredded lettuce, chopped pickles, and a drizzle of the remaining sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve warm.
