Description
These Tater Tot Mini Cheeseburgers are the ultimate bite-sized appetizers for parties, tailgating, and game day fun. Juicy beef, crispy tater tots, and all the classic burger toppings come together in one irresistible finger food.
Ingredients
1lb ground beef
1 package onion soup mix
1/2 bag Tater tot crowns, prepared
12 slices pre-cut cheddar cheese
12 pieces green leaf lettuce
12 sliced cherry tomatoes
12 dill pickle slices
Also needed:
12 toothpicks or mini bamboo forks
Instructions
- Cook tater tots according to the package directions until crispy and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with onion soup mix until fully combined.
- Place the meat between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten evenly. Remove the top sheet and use a knife to score the beef into small squares, slightly wider than a tater tot. Gently separate the pieces before cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the mini patties until browned and cooked through, flipping once.
- Top each burger with a slice of pre-cut cheddar cheese and let it melt over the warm patties.
- Use a bamboo fork or toothpick to build each bite. Start with a tater tot as the base, then layer on a pickle chip, a small piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a cheesy burger patty. Top with another tater tot to complete the stack. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve with your favorite condiments on the side.
