Irresistible Ingredients
Diced onions: Toss these in for a punch of savory sweetness. Use firm, fresh ones with no squishy spots
Frozen tater tots: These little guys turn into your cone base. Hollow out for a crunchy shell—pick a brand that bakes up nice and golden
Ground beef: Classic burger flavor right here. Go with eighty twenty beef for that juicy, meaty bite
Salt and pepper: Just sprinkle on as you like. I go for kosher salt and pop some black peppercorns for a kick
Ketchup: Brings that tangy, iconic burger sauce taste. Real tomato ketchup works best
Mozzarella cheese: Your secret move for a pure gooey finish. Shred it fresh if you want those awesome cheese pulls
Beef bacon: Gives a smoky twist and crunchy topping. Thick-sliced and cooked crisp is the way to go
Cheddar cheese: Packs sharp, old-school burger flavor into every cone. Grate it yourself for the ultimate melt
Mustard: Adds a zippy note. Good old yellow mustard is perfect
Mayonnaise: Rounds it all out with creamy richness. Full-fat versions melt best

Epic Step-by-Step
Finish and Serve:
Pop the cones back in the hot oven for five to ten minutes—stop when the mozzarella is melted and browning up. Serve fast while they’re gooey inside and you get epic cheese stretches with each bite
Make the Cheese Volcano:
Mix up shredded mozzarella with any extra burger filling in a bowl. Heap this molten mix on every cone as soon as they come out of the oven for that wild volcano look
Bake the Cones:
Lay the filled cones spaced out on a parchment baking sheet. Bake at four twenty-five Fahrenheit for about fifteen to twenty minutes, just until crispy and bubbly. Keep a watch so the cheese doesn’t go too far
Shape and Fill the Tater Tot Cones:
Grab a frozen tater tot, use a sharp paring knife or skewer to carve out the middle (think mini cones). Spoon in your burger mixture without smashing the cone, then load the top with grated cheddar
Prepare the Filling:
Sauté the ground beef over medium until it’s caramelized and browned. Drain the fat. Toss in your crispy chopped beef bacon, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Let that all cook together, mixing well, for a couple minutes until everything’s blended. Add salt and pepper last and taste to see if it needs more zip
