Description

Mini Burger Skewers with Tater Tot Buns are a fun and delicious twist on traditional burgers, perfect for parties or family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 tater tots (frozen or homemade)
  • 12 small skewers or toothpicks
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Ketchup and mustard for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the tater tot package instructions, usually around 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
  3. Form the beef mixture into small patties, about the size of a quarter, with a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
  4. Place the tater tots on the prepared baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.
  5. While the tater tots are baking, heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the mini burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
  6. Once the tater tots are done, let them cool slightly. Assemble the mini burger skewers by threading a tater tot, mini burger patty, lettuce, cherry tomato half, and pickle slice onto each skewer.
  7. Serve the mini burger skewers with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding your favorite seasonings to the beef mixture.
  • These skewers can be customized with different toppings based on personal preference.
  • Great for parties, game day, or family dinners.
