Ingredients
1 bag frozen tater tots
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven according to the tater tots package instructions, typically around 425°F (220°C).
-
While the tater tots are baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces. Add the chopped onion and sauté until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
-
Once the tater tots are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and arrange them on a large serving plate or baking dish.
-
Spoon the seasoned beef and onion mixture over the tater tots.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef mixture.
-
Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve immediately, garnished with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Notes
To make it spicier, add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
For a vegetarian version, swap the ground beef for a plant-based protein or sautéed vegetables like mushrooms and bell peppers.
Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a varied flavor.
Top with sour cream, guacamole, or fresh cilantro for extra flair.
