Turkey Bacon Stuffed Tots (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 0.5 lb of ground beef
02 - 2 tablespoons creamy ranch dressing
03 - 8 jumbo tater tots or large tater kegs, frozen
04 - 4 strips of turkey bacon, cooked and broken into bits
05 - 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
06 - 1 tablespoon sliced green onions
07 - 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
08 - A pinch of salt and pepper
09 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Follow the steps on the package to warm up your oven. Lay the tater kegs on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re nice and crispy. Let them cool a bit so you don’t burn your hands.
02 - Throw your ground beef into a pan on medium heat, cook until it’s browned, then get rid of the extra grease. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the ranch in, followed by the turkey bacon pieces. Remove from the heat.
03 - Take a small spoon or knife and carefully carve out a bit of the center of each tater keg. Make enough space to add the stuffing.
04 - Carefully spoon the beef and turkey bacon mixture into each hollowed keg. Press lightly to pack in as much as you can. Sprinkle on shredded cheddar over each one.
05 - Put the filled kegs back in the oven for another 5–7 minutes. Take them out when the cheese has melted and started bubbling.
06 - Sprinkle some green onions on top if you’d like, and enjoy them fresh out of the oven. Serve with extra ranch for dipping, if you like.
