  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  5. Remove from oven and press tots down with a tamper to form cups.
  6. Fill each cup with the beef mixture and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Return to oven and bake for 15 more minutes, until crispy and cheese is melted.
  8. While baking, prepare the special sauce by whisking together all sauce ingredients.
  9. Let tots cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
  10. Drizzle with sauce and top each with a mini pickle slice. Serve warm.
