# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
02 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
03 -
Stir in crumbled beef bacon, diced onions, ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat.
04 -
Using a small knife or spoon, hollow out each tater tot to create a cone shape. Carefully fill each cone with the prepared beef bacon cheeseburger mixture.
05 -
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filled cones.
06 -
Arrange the stuffed tater tot cones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until tater tots are golden and cheddar cheese is melted.
07 -
In a separate bowl, mix mozzarella cheese with any remaining beef mixture. Top baked cones with this mixture.
08 -
Return cones to oven and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, or until cheese topping is bubbly and golden brown.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat at 375°F for 8–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
02 -
For best results, use freshly shredded mozzarella for a better melt.
03 -
Assemble ahead: prepare up to 4 hours in advance and bake from cold (add 2–3 extra minutes).
04 -
Freeze unbaked cones for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 5–8 minutes to bake time.
