Loaded Tater Tot Cups Ingredients:
- 48 tater tots
- 4 oz sour cream
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp bacon pieces
Baking Supplies Needed to make Loaded Tater Tot Cups:
- Baking sheet
- 24-count mini muffin pan
- Spoon
- Pestle
- Piping bag or ziplock baggie
- Frosting tip – optional
Loaded Tater Tot Cups Directions:
Preheat the oven and bake the tater tots according to the package directions. (The brand I used baked for 25 minutes at 425 degrees.)
Once those are done, remove them from the oven, and add two tater tots to each cavity of a 24-count muffin tin.
Use The back of a spoon to smash the tater tots into the muffin tins. Then use the pestle to form a cup in the center.
Transfer the muffin pan to the oven, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven, remove the tater tot cups from the muffin pan, and set them upright on a cutting board or the baking sheet you used to bake the tater tots.
Add the sour cream to a piping bag or Ziploc baggie equipped with a frosting tip (or you can snip off the end), and pipe some sour cream into each of the tater tot cups.
Sprinkle each of the tater tot cups with cheese and bacon pieces.
Serve hot, and enjoy!
Notes:
If you need to make a bigger batch, you can form the cups in the muffin tins and dump them onto the baking sheet to bake.
Serving size will depend on if you’re using it as an appetizer or side dish. I make this for a side dish, and we each eat 6, so that would be 4 servings.
If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge in an air-tight container. I like to reheat mine in the air fryer for 3 or 4 minutes.
