Tater Tot Mini Cheeseburger Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 24 frozen tater tots
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 24 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 24 pickle slices
• Ketchup and mustard for serving
• Toothpicks for assembly
  Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the tater tot package. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape the seasoned ground beef into small patties, roughly the same size as the diameter of the tater tots.
4. Place the tater tots on the prepared baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. While the tater tots are baking, cook the beef patties in a skillet over medium heat until they are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Once the tater tots and beef patties are cooked, assemble the mini cheeseburgers by placing a beef patty on top of each tater tot.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef patties, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.
8. Top each mini cheeseburger with a cherry tomato half and a pickle slice.
9. Secure each mini cheeseburger with a toothpick for easy serving.
10. Serve the Tater Tot Mini Cheeseburger Bites warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping
