Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 24 pieces Frozen Tater Tots
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: pickles, diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, extra bacon, burger sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp, flipping halfway.
- While the tots bake, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in ketchup and mustard for classic cheeseburger flavor, then turn off the heat.
- Remove tater tots from the oven and let them cool slightly. To shape the cones: use a muffin tin, lining each cup with tater tots to create a cone shape, layering and pressing them firmly together. Return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes to set the shape.
- Meanwhile, mix the cooked beef mixture with the crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Spoon the cheeseburger filling into each tater tot cone, pressing gently to pack.
- Sprinkle extra cheese or bacon on top if desired, then return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Carefully loosen cones from the muffin tin and serve hot, topped with your favorite burger fixings.
Notes
- For extra crispy tater tot cones, use convection bake if available.
- Press tater tots gently but firmly to create sturdy cones.
- Experiment with different cheeses or toppings for variety.
- Make ahead by baking and shaping cones in advance, then filling and baking before serving.
- Serve with a toppings bar for a fun, interactive meal.
