Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag Frozen tater tots Use a standard-sized bag.
  • 1 lb Ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 1 cup Cheese slices Use thin slices for better melting.
Condiments and Basics
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder Optional for additional flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup For topping.
  • 1/2 cup Mustard For topping.
  • 1/2 cup Pickles For topping.
  • 1/2 cup Onion Chop for topping, optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain and season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
  3. Grease a mini muffin tin. Press 3 tater tots into each cup, flattening them down to cover the bottom.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are crispy. Check earlier if your oven tends to run hot.
  5. Spoon in the cooked beef and top with a small slice of cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
  6. Remove from the oven, top with pickles, ketchup, and any other desired toppings.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd muffin cups and let them cool slightly in the pan to retain their shape. Use cooking spray or grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
