Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ⅓ cup yellow onion, or sweet onion, diced
- ⅔ cup HEINZ ketchup
- 2 tbsp HEINZ prepared yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp HEINZ dill pickle relish
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1½ cup milk
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cup KRAFT Triple Cheddar Natural Shredded Cheese, divided use
- 32 oz ORE-IDA® TATER TOTS® Potatoes
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a casserole dish, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef and onion stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.
- Stir in ketchup, mustard and relish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon mixture into prepared casserole dish and smooth into an even layer.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter completely. Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth. Continue to whisk while cooking the roux until it is golden brown.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, taking care to fully incorporate it with the roux. Keep whisking until the sauce is thick and bubbling; about 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper.
-
Remove the pan from heat and whisk in 1½ cups of cheese until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Evenly pour the sauce over the meat mixture.
-
Arrange the frozen ORE-IDA® TATER TOTS® potatoes in an even layer over the cheese sauce.
- Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining cheese onto the tots. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- If desired, sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley just before serving.
