ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 large onion, chopped and divided
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
• 1 tablespoon ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 12 bacon, strips cooked and crumbled
• 1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, chopped (or ketchup)
• 1⁄3 cup sliced dill pickle

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef and 1 cup onion, crumbling meat, until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 6-8 minutes. Drain.
2. Stir in tomato sauce, Velveeta, mustard (I could not get much mustard flavor with the ground mustard, so I added a squeeze of prepared mustard), Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste until cheese is melted, 4-6 minutes.
3. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. or 3-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and bacon. Top with Tater Tots. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes; top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake additional 10 minutes. Top with tomatoes, pickles and remaining onion. **I have tomato haters, so instead of tomatoes,I drizzled a little ketchup on top. Yield: 12 servings.
