Ingredients
Scale
Tater Tots:
- 24 frozen tater tots
Cheeseburgers:
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small squares
- 12 pickle slices
- 12 small pieces of lettuce or shredded lettuce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup or burger sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the tater tots on a lined baking sheet for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare the cheeseburgers: Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Shape into 12 small meatballs, then flatten into mini patties. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side until fully cooked. Top each patty with a small square of cheese and allow it to melt slightly.
