Description
Cheeseburger Tater Tot Nachos are a fun, savory twist on classic nachos. Tater tots take the place of chips and are topped with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, pickles, and all the delicious flavors of a cheeseburger in nacho form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag frozen tater tots (about 24 oz)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pickles, diced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the tater tot package instructions. Spread tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
- While the tater tots are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat apart, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
- Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and spread them out on a large serving platter or baking dish.
- Top the tater tots with the cooked ground beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced pickles.
- Return the nachos to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Drizzle with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For extra cheesiness, add a layer of cheese between the tater tots and ground beef.
- Feel free to add other burger-inspired toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or bacon.
- For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce on top.
