Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Slider buns
  • Cheddar cheese slices

  2. Form the ground beef into small patties, season with salt and pepper, and cook in a skillet until fully cooked.
  3. While the patties are cooking, bake the tater tots according to package instructions.
  4. Once the patties and tater tots are cooked, assemble the sliders by placing a patty on the bottom half of a slider bun.
  5. Add a slice of cheese on top of the patty, followed by a few tater tots and a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
  6. Top with optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion, if desired, and cover with the top half of the slider bun.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Interesting Facts

  • Tater tots were invented in 1953 by the Ore-Ida company as a way to use up excess potato scraps.
  • Sliders are believed to have originated in the early 20th century when US Navy sailors would refer to mini-burgers as 'sliders' because of how easily they slid down the throat.
