For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture for a spicy kick. Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or Colby jack.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Place two tater tots into each cup. (2 minutes)
02
StepBake until tater tots are warmed through and slightly crispy, about 15 minutes. Use the back of a round tablespoon to press the tater tots into each muffin tin, forming a cup. Leave oven on. (17 minutes)
03
StepPlace bacon slices in a cold skillet (cast iron preferred). Cook over medium-high heat until browned and crispy on the bottom, 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and pat off excess fat. Chop coarsely. (10 minutes)
04
StepDiscard all but 1/2 tablespoon bacon fat from the skillet. Return to medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, without stirring, until browned on the bottom. Break into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon and cook until just barely pink, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon off any excess liquid and fat. (15 minutes)
05
StepStir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal steak seasoning. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes, then stir in chopped bacon and shredded cheese. (12 minutes)
06
StepSpoon beef mixture into tater tot cups, dividing equally. (5 minutes)
07
StepBake until cheese is melted and bites are slightly browned on top, about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
08
StepCool slightly in the muffin tin, then transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped parsley. (5 minutes)
