  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic, minced

MAKE THE CUPS

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Brush each cup in a cupcake tray with garlic butter or just spray with avocado oil.
  3. Add 5 to 6 tater tots into each cup and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Take out of the oven and use a shot glass to mash the tater tots into a cup shape.
  5. Brush the inside with more garlic butter and add a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese inside each cup.
  6. Pop back in the oven and bake for 13 to 17 minutes until golden and crispy all around.
  7. Take out of the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, and then slide out the cups.
  8. Add sour cream, beef bacon, green onions, and more cheese into each cup and serve warm!

Notes

The garlic butter is completely optional. You can also just spray the tin with avocado oil spray if your cupcake tray is not non-stick.
