Ingredients

  • 15 skewers
  • 1 bag tater tots
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1.5 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1.5 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 0.5 lb bacon chopped and cooked
  • 1 bunch green onion
  • sour cream

Instructions

  • First cook up your tater tots according to the instructions on the bag. We recommend using a sheet of parchment paper for easy clean up!
  • While the tots are cooking, make your meat. In a large skillet, cook a diced onion, add your ground beef, season generously with the salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder. Break it up till its nice and small. Cook until its fully browned.
  • At the same time, cook your bacon. You can either cut it into pieces and then cook it or cook it in strips and then chop it later. We usually cut it and then cook it. It cooks faster. Cook till its fully cooked but not overdone or too hard,
  • When the tater tots are done, skewer them with wooden skewers. 4-6 tots on a skewer. Lay them on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the ground beef. Add the shredded cheese.
  • Bake them at 350 degrees till the cheese melts. This will take about 8 mins or so. When they come out of the oven, immediately sprinkle with bacon and green onions.
  • Drizzle them in sour cream and serve with more sour cream for dipping.
