I really do try to keep most of the recipes that I post on the healthier side, but sometimes you just have to indulge. If my husband and kids had their way, every dinner would be something like these bacon cheeseburger "totchos"!
Obviously, this is not a meal that you are going to make on a regular basis. Well, I guess you could, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it unless you can figure out a way to make them a little more healthy (swap out the beef for turkey? use regular cheddar cheese in place of Velveeta?)
Make sure that you get the tater tots completely cooked and crisp before you start loading them up with toppings and serve these totchos immediately or else the cheese and other toppings will turn the tots in to a soggy mess.
To make these bacon cheeseburger totchos you will need:
Ingredients:
- 32 oz Tater Tots
- 6 oz Velveeta
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ cup Ketchup
- ¼ cup Mustard
- Pickles
- ¼ cup finely diced Onion
- 6 slices Bacon
