Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 lb ground beef (or chicken, turkey, or pulled pork)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 6 slices cheddar or American cheese
  • 12 slider buns or dinner rolls
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tbsp ketchup or burger sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, bacon, jalapeños

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake tater tots until golden and crispy.
  • In a skillet, cook ground beef with onions until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place tater tots on the bottom halves of slider buns as a crunchy base.
  • Add beef mixture, then top with cheese slices.
  • Add optional toppings like pickles or bacon.
  • Cover with the top buns and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use crispy tater tots for the best texture.
  • Ground beef can be swapped with shredded chicken or pork.
  • Melt cheese directly on the hot filling for gooeyness.
  • Mini Hawaiian rolls work great for a sweet contrast.
  • Customize toppings for different flavour profiles.
