Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375° Fahrenheit.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the casserole is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Top with shredded lettuce, pickle chips, chopped tomatoes, a drizzle of Big Mac sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (optional)
