Steps:
- Gather your ingredients.
- For the sauce: Combine sauce ingredients in small bowl.
- For the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Peel onions and use a mandoline or large slicing blade of a box grater to shave the onions as thin as possible.
- Place beef in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and score to separate into 4 portions. Roll beef into balls.
- Drizzle oil in pan or over balls and place the meat into pan with 3 inches separating each portion. Top each ball with 1/4 of the onions and press meat into flat patties, bonding onions into meat. Cook beef 3 to 4 minutes, flip, cook and press 2 minutes. Add cheese, 2 slices per burger, and cook 2 minutes more, 7 to 8 minutes total between both sides. Put on patty bun bottoms.
- Serve with sauce, pickles, lettuce and patty bun tops with Ranch Flavored Tater Tots alongside.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Whisk up spices in a bowl. Store in the refrigerator in airtight plastic container.
- Bake tots to very crisp, 25 minutes. Top with ranch seasoning to your taste. Makes 3/4 cup seasoning and 6 portions of tots.
Tips:
- Use frozen tater tots. Frozen tater tots are easier to work with and cook more evenly than fresh potatoes.
- Make sure the tater tots are crispy before baking. This will help them stay crispy in the casserole.
- Use a creamy soup base. The soup base will help to bind the casserole together and make it creamy and delicious.
- Add your favorite toppings. You can add cheese, bacon, vegetables, or anything else you like to the casserole.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the ingredients are heated evenly.
