Ingredients

To whip up these scrumptious cups, you’ll need:

  • 2 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning

  2. Place 2 tater tots in each muffin cup and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink, then drain any excess grease.
  4. Add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal steak seasoning to the beef, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Take the skillet off the heat, and stir in the bacon and cheese.
  6. Remove the tater tots from the oven. Press them down in the muffin cups to create a cup shape.
  7. Spoon the beef mixture into each tater tot cup and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
