Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 bag frozen tater tots
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tomato, diced
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• Pickles, sliced
• Ketchup and mustard, for drizzling

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.

While the tater tots bake, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for a flavorful base. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

When the tater tots are ready, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a heatproof serving platter or keep them on the baking sheet. Top the crispy tots evenly with the cooked ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese.

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the dish from the oven and immediately top with diced tomato, red onion, and sliced pickles for a fresh crunch. Finish with a drizzle of ketchup and mustard to tie the cheeseburger flavors together.

Serve the nachos hot and watch them disappear!
