Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers: A Fun and Festive Appetizer

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 24 tater tots, cooked and crispy
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese, cut into small squares
  • 12 small pickle slices
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Lettuce leaves, cut into small pieces
  • Mayonnaise, for serving
  • Ketchup, for serving
  • Toothpicks, for assembly

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and form into small patties, about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Cook the Beef Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mini beef patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked. Place a small square of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
  3. Assemble the Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers: Take one tater tot and place a small dollop of mayonnaise on top. Add a piece of lettuce, followed by a cheeseburger patty. Top with a slice of cherry tomato and a pickle slice. Place another tater tot on top to complete the mini burger. Secure the layers with a toothpick.
  4. Serve: Arrange the mini tater tot cheeseburgers on a serving platter. Serve with ketchup and additional mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
