Here's the fun part! Using a small knife or spoon, carefully hollow out each tater tot to create little cone shapes. Take your time - you want them to hold all that delicious filling without breaking apart.

Fill each hollowed tater tot cone with the cheeseburger mixture - don't be shy, pack them full! Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each filled cone. They're going to look amazing!

Arrange your stuffed cones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tater tots are golden and that cheddar is beautifully melted.

Mix the mozzarella cheese with any remaining cheeseburger mixture. Remove the cones from the oven and top each one with a generous amount of this cheesy mixture - this is where it gets really indulgent!
06 -
Pop them back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until that cheese topping is bubbly and golden brown. Serve these beauties hot while the cheese is still gooey and amazing!
