Sliced Pickles: we like to use the large dill pickles sliced for hamburgers.For the topping, you can use yellow or red onion – up to you! Onion – we use a yellow onion sautéed with the ground meat.Ground Meat – Beef, turkey, or a vegetarian alternative will all work!.Frozen Tater Tots – You can use french fries instead, but we’ve found that tater tots provide a much sturdier base for the casserole.Here’s what you’ll need for the base of the casserole: Like all the best easy weeknight dinners, the ingredients needed to make this casserole are simple and inexpensive. Plus, if we say so ourselves… it’s also way tastier. It’s also a lot more budget friendly to make this big casserole for the whole family versus take-out. This casserole also has no unnatural preservatives, less sodium, and more fresh veggies than a drive-thru burger. While this might not be the most diet friendly dinner recipe, it’s certainly a more health conscious choice than fast food alternatives! We use ground turkey in place of ground beef (you can still use ground beef if you prefer) and that cuts down on a lot of fat and grease. Sometimes, a drive-thru burger is a necessity! However, more often than not, those burgers are chock-full of sodium and unnatural preservatives.
