1
Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
2
Prepare the Burger Patty
While the tater tots are baking, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into a large patty, about 1 inch thick.
3
Cook the Burger Patty
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Once hot, place the patty in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness.
4
Cook the Bacon
In the same skillet, add the bacon slices after flipping the burger patty. Cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes, and then remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
5
Fry the Egg
In the remaining bacon grease, crack an egg into the skillet. Cook to your desired doneness, sunny-side up or over-easy, about 2-3 minutes.
6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of the burger bun, place the cooked beef patty. Top it with crispy bacon, the fried egg, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Add the tater tots on the side or on top of the burger for extra crunch.
7
Serve
Place the top half of the burger bun on the assembled burger. Serve immediately with extra tater tots on the side.
