Bacon cheeseburger tater tot cups are a delicious and creative twist on traditional cheeseburgers. They’re essentially mini cheeseburger bites encased in crispy tater tot cups. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 package frozen tater tots
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, diced onions, pickles, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the tater tot package.
- Prepare the tater tot cups: Place tater tots into a muffin tin, pressing them into the bottom and up the sides to create cups. Bake according to the package instructions until they are slightly crispy.
- Cook the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess fat.
- Assemble the cups: Once the tater tot cups are baked, remove them from the oven. Fill each cup with cooked ground beef, then top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Bake again: Place the muffin tin back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the tater tot cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove them from the muffin tin and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with optional toppings like ketchup, mustard, diced onions, pickles, etc.
Enjoy your delicious bacon cheeseburger tater tot cups as a fun appetizer or snack!
