Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange tater tots around cone molds (or form cones using foil-wrapped molds). Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- While the cones bake, cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat.
- Once the cones are ready, fill them generously with the beef mixture.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Drizzle ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise over the filled cones.
- Garnish with diced pickles and serve warm.
Variations:
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of spicy sriracha mayo inside the cones.
- BBQ Twist: Swap ketchup and mustard for barbecue sauce.
- Cheese Lovers: Use a mix of cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack for gooey goodness.
- Loaded Style: Add lettuce, tomato, or avocado for extra toppings.
Tips:
- If you don’t have cone molds, roll foil into a cone shape and wrap tightly before layering tots.
- For extra crispy cones, broil for 2–3 minutes after baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture—crispy cones and gooey cheese.
- These cones can also be made smaller for bite-sized appetizers.
