# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
02 -
Salt and pepper, toss in as much as you like
03 -
0.25 teaspoon onion powder
04 -
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
06 -
60 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
07 -
4 turkey bacon slices, cooked and crumbled up
08 -
225 grams ground beef
09 -
8 giant frozen tater kegs or super-sized tater tots
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop them onto your favorite plate. Scatter with some chopped green onions. Grab a little extra ranch on the side if you want. Eat them while they're hot.
02 -
Slide the packed tater kegs back into the oven. Give them about 5–7 minutes until you see the cheese all gooey and bubbly.
03 -
Spoon the beef and bacon mix into every hollowed tater keg. Press the filling in so it's packed. Toss on the shredded cheese—try to cover the tops.
04 -
Once those taters are cool enough, gently dig into the middle of each keg with a little spoon or a knife. Make a nice pocket for stuffing.
05 -
Brown the beef in a skillet on medium heat, crumble it as it cooks. Pour out any extra grease. Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in the ranch so it’s all creamy. Add the crumbled turkey bacon too and stir it all together. Take it off the stove.
06 -
Crank your oven to whatever the package says. Set your frozen tater kegs on a baking tray. Cook them around 20–25 minutes 'til they’re nice and crispy. Let them cool down a bit so you don’t burn yourself.
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t rush hollowing out the taters—wait until they cool a little so they don’t fall apart.
