Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, then grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, olive oil, or melted butter.

Step 2

Add 4 frozen tater tots into each muffin tin cavity, then bake for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Once baked, use a shot glass to press the tater tots into cup shapes. Sprinkle on shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, then bake for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Top with your choice of sour cream or ranch dressing, then garnish with parsley or chives before serving!

Step 5

*If using fresh bacon, I recommend using the oven method of baking at 425 degrees for 25 minutes and about 15 minutes if using thin bacon. Then transfer the crispy bacon to paper towels to drain off excess grease and chop it up to make bacon crumbles.
