Description

Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers are a fun, quick, and delicious twist on a classic favorite that combines all the comfort of a cheeseburger with the crispy goodness of tater tots.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Mini burger buns
  • Your favorite burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Bake the tater tots on a baking sheet according to package instructions for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Prepare the beef mixture by combining ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onions in a large bowl.
  4. Shape the beef mixture into small patties, making about 8-10 mini burgers.
  5. Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, adding cheddar cheese on top to melt.
  6. Assemble the burgers by layering a tater tot on a mini burger bun, topping it with a cheesy beef patty and your favorite toppings.

Notes

You can use sweet potato tots or crispy potato chips instead of tater tots for a different crunch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
