Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked turkey bacon, finely chopped
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Place 3–4 tater tots in each muffin cup. Bake for 10 minutes until softened.
- Remove from the oven and use the back of a small spoon to press the tater tots down, forming little nests.
