Preparation Steps

Begin by cooking the tater tots according to the package instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes at 425°F until golden brown and crispy.
While tater tots cool, form small 1-ounce beef patties, season, and cook for 3-4 minutes each side in a skillet. Place cheese on patties in the last minute to melt.
Assemble with a tater tot base, lettuce, tomato, cheesy patty, another tater tot, and a pickle slice.
Drizzle ketchup and mustard on top, then secure layers with a toothpick.
Place assembled burgers on a platter for serving. Optional: Serve with extra dipping sauces.
