Cooking Instructions
- Bake frozen tater tots on a baking sheet according to package instructions until golden and crispy.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion; cook, breaking up the meat until browned and onions are soft (about 6–8 min).
- Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika; cook 1 min until fragrant.
- Pour in tomato sauce, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and let simmer on low for about 5 min so flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
- Arrange the crispy baked tater tots in a single layer over the beef mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Place the skillet under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
Notes
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the beef mixture to a greased baking dish before adding tots and cheese.
