Cheeseburger Stuffed Tater Cones are a must-try delight that combines the comforting flavors of a cheeseburger with crispy tater tots, perfect for any gathering.
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
- Pickles, sliced (optional)
- Diced tomatoes (optional)
- Chopped lettuce (optional)
- Extra bacon, crumbled (optional)
- Burger sauce (optional)
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 extra flavor, consider adding spices to the beef mixture such as garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce.
- These cones can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
- The filling can be customized with your favorite burger toppings.
