How to make Mac and Cheese Bacon Burger Stuffed Tater Tots

Making Mac and Cheese Bacon Burger Stuffed Tater Tots is simpler than you might think. The process is straightforward, but it yields a dish that feels gourmet. You’ll start by cooking your macaroni and cheese, and while it’s cooling, you’ll brown the ground beef and onions. Then, you’ll mix everything together before shaping it into stuffed tater tots.

Cook the macaroni and cheese as per the package instructions and then set it aside.
Brown the ground beef with onions in a skillet, seasoning as desired, and mix everything together with your mac and cheese.
Create an indent in each tater tot using your thumb, spoon in the mixture, and press down another tater tot on top to complete the assembly.
Finally, bake them in the oven until they’re perfectly crispy and golden!

What you’ll need

Gathering the right ingredients is key for the best results. Here’s your shopping list:

1 box of mac and cheese
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced onions
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package frozen tater tots

Feel free to customize the ingredients — you can swap the beef for turkey, skip the bacon for a lighter dish, or even use different types of cheese for a unique flavor experience!
