Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 tater tots – cooked and crispy
  • 8 small beef patties – about 1 ounce each, seasoned to taste
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese – cut into quarters
  • 8 cherry tomatoes – sliced
  • 8 small lettuce leaves
  • 8 pickle slices
  • Ketchup and mustard – for topping
  • 8 toothpicks – to hold everything together

Optional Substitutions:
For a healthier twist, use turkey or chicken patties instead of beef. If you’re vegetarian, substitute with plant-based mini patties and dairy-free cheese slices.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tater Tots

Start by cooking the tater tots according to package instructions. To make the perfect crispy base for your Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers, make sure to bake or air fry them until golden brown. Set the cooked tater tots aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Cook the Beef Patties

While the tater tots cook, season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Pan-fry them over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Place a small piece of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Tater Tot Cheeseburgers

With all ingredients ready, it’s time to assemble your Tater Tot Slider Bites:

  1. Place a tater tot on the bottom.
  2. Layer a lettuce leaf on top of the tater tot, followed by a slice of tomato.
  3. Place the cheesy beef patty on top.
  4. Add another tater tot, followed by a pickle slice.
  5. Add a dollop of ketchup and mustard on top for extra flavor.
  6. Secure each mini burger with a toothpick to keep everything in place.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Your Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers are now ready! Serve them immediately for the best taste and texture.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly sliced lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles will enhance the flavor of your Tater Tot Slider Bites.
  • Experiment with Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to try other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
  • Keep Tots Crispy: To maintain the crunch of your tater tots, avoid assembling the burgers too far in advance.
