Cheeseburger Tots

The Minnesota Vikings did NOT make to the Superbowl, but these tasty appetizers were a hit. They are tater tot bites filled with hamburger, cheese, pickles, and a special sauce.  We could not believe 3 tater tots fit into each "mini"  muffin cup to make these... but they did!

Ingredients:

48 Tater Tots , frozen
1 lb Ground beef
1/2 c Onion , finely diced
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Yellow mustard
2 tbsp Ketchup
2 tbsp Pickle relish
1 c Cheddar cheese , shredded
Mini Pickles for garnish

Special Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 c Mayonnaise

3 tots in 1 cup!

4 tbsp Pickle relish
2 tbsp Yellow mustard
1 tsp White wine vinegar
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium high heat. Once meat has browned drain the grease then add beef and onions back to the skillet and cook until softened.
• Add mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and pickle relish to the ground beef and stir to combine. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Grease a mini muffin pan and place three tater tots in each cup. Bake for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes remove the muffin pan from the oven and use a tamper to press the tater tots down into each cup. This will create a tater tot cup.
• Fill the tater tots with the ground beef mixture and top with cheddar cheese.
• Place the tater tots back in the oven and cook for another 15 minutes.
• Remove the cheeseburger tots from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan.
• While the cheeseburger tots cool mix together all of the special sauce ingredients.
• Drizzle the special sauce over the cheeseburger tots and top with mini pickle slice.
