Description
Small cheeseburgers using tater tots instead of buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 12 small slices of cheddar cheese
- 24 frozen tater tots
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, pickles
Instructions
- Mix ground beef, salt, pepper, and onion in a bowl.
- Form the mixture into 12 small, thin patties, slightly smaller than the tater tots.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Place one slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Bake tater tots according to package directions until golden brown and crisp.
- To assemble, place one cooked patty on a flat tater tot, top with another tater tot, and add your desired toppings.
Notes
- You can bake the patties instead of frying if you prefer less oil.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion the meat evenly for consistent size.
