Tater Tot Waffles
These Tater Tot Waffles are kid-friendly and perfect any time of day! Enjoy them for breakfast, pack them in a lunch box or make them for a quick dinner on a busy night.
- Yield: 4 waffles 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef (I use 85/15. Approx 2 cups cooked)
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheese (I use Colby Jack)
4 servings tater tots (approx 10 tater tots per serving)
4 eggs
Instructions
- Thaw tater tots. The quickest way to do this is in the microwave but you can also thaw in the refrigerator. They need to be soft enough smash.
- Cook ground beef, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a pan over medium heat. Drain cooked beef onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.
- Place thawed tater tots in a bowl and smash well with a potato masher.
- Add cooked ground beef, shredded cheese and eggs and stir until well combined.
- On a greased waffle iron, add approximately 1 cup of the beef mixture. Use a fork to spread out the mixture to cover the bottom of the waffle iron and close the lid.
- Cook 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove with a spatula and serve with ketchup!
Notes
You should be able to substitute hash browns for tater tots but I haven’t tried it myself.
