For the Bites

  • 1 small Diced Onion Optional, for added flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds a subtle kick
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential seasoning

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until golden brown.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and diced onion. Mix gently until combined.
  3. Shape the beef into small patties slightly larger than the tater tots.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  5. Top each patty with cheddar cheese before they finish cooking, cover to melt.
  6. Assemble the bites: place a tater tot, add ketchup, then a cheesy patty, pickle slice, and top with another tater tot.
  7. Optional: garnish with sesame seeds or chives and serve with extra condiments for dipping.
