Description
Cheeseburger Stuffed Tater Cones are a fun and creative twist on classic burgers, combining crispy tater tots with a savory beef filling and cheesy goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 24 pieces frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional toppings: Pickles, sliced
- Diced tomatoes
- Chopped lettuce
- Extra bacon, crumbled
- Burger sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange tater tots on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp, flipping once halfway through.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and finely chopped onion with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Stir in ketchup and yellow mustard until fully combined.
- Allow tater tots to cool slightly. Press baked tots firmly into the wells of a muffin tin to form cone or cup shapes. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to set the shape.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked beef mixture with crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until evenly incorporated.
- Carefully spoon the cheeseburger filling into each tater tot cone, pressing gently. Top with additional cheese or bacon if desired.
- Return filled cones to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove cones gently from the muffin tin and serve hot. Garnish with preferred toppings such as pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, or burger sauce.
Notes
- For added flavor, try seasoning the beef mixture with garlic powder or onion powder.
- You can use any cheese you prefer for a different taste.
- These cones can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven before serving.
