¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dry minced onion

Toothpicks
Instructions
Cook Tater Tots:
Bake tater tots according to package directions until crispy and golden brown.
Prepare Beef Patties:
In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced onion until just combined. Form into small patties slightly larger than the tater tots (they will shrink slightly while cooking).
Cook Beef Patties:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
Add Cheese:
Cut cheddar slices into small squares and place on top of each hot patty. Cover skillet briefly to melt the cheese.
Assemble Mini Cheeseburgers:
Place one tater tot on the bottom, add a small dollop of ketchup, top with a cheeseburger patty, a pickle chip, and another tater tot. Secure with a toothpick. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a thin slice of cooked bacon.
Swap cheddar for American cheese for a classic cheeseburger taste.
Add mustard or burger sauce for variety.
Keep assembled bites warm in a low oven (200°F) until serving.
Best served fresh for maximum crispiness.
