Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
24 frozen tater tots
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add in the crumbled bacon, diced onions, ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
2. Take each tater tot and hollow out the center to create a cone shape. Fill each tater tot cone with the bacon cheeseburger mixture, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
3. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tater tots are crispy and the cheese is melted.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese with any remaining bacon cheeseburger mixture. Once the tater tot cones are done, remove from the oven and top each cone with the mozzarella mixture.
5. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Serve the Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Tater Tot Cones with Colossal Cheese Volcano hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
Notes
Store leftover cones in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
Can be assembled up to 4 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to baking time if starting from cold.
For best cheese volcano effect, use freshly shredded mozzarella rather than pre-shredded.
Can be frozen before baking for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 5-8 minutes to cooking time.
