Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
While the tater tots bake, combine the special burger sauce ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate to meld flavors.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for 6-8 minutes.
Chop your fresh toppings as the beef cooks, setting aside for later.
Assemble the bowls with beef, tater tots, fresh toppings, and drizzle the special sauce on top.
