Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- ½ bag Tater tot crowns prepared
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
- 12 pieces iceberg lettuce
- 12 sliced cherry tomatoes
- 12 dill pickle chips
Instructions
- Cook tater tots according to the package directions until crispy and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with onion soup mix until fully combined. Place the meat between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten evenly. Remove the top sheet and use a knife to score the beef into small squares, slightly wider than a tater tot.
- Gently separate the pieces before cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the mini patties until browned and cooked through, flipping once.
- Top each burger with a slice of pre-cut cheddar cheese and let it melt over the warm patties.
- Use a bamboo fork or toothpick to build each bite. Start with a tater tot as the base, then layer on a pickle chip, a small piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a cheesy burger layer on a pickle chip, a small piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a cheesy burger.
- Top with another tater tot to complete the stack. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve with your favorite condiments on the side.
Notes
- Tater tot crowns work best for stability.
- Patties can be made ahead for quicker assembly.
- Serve hot for the best texture.
- I used these bamboo appetizer forks.
