Steps:
- Make the cheese sauce: Toss the cheese and cornstarch together in a bowl until totally coated. Set a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the evaporated milk. Once the milk is warm, whisk in the cheese mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and ground beef and cook, stirring, until the exterior is caramelized and the inside is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat.
- Assemble the cups: Fry or bake the tots as the label directs. Divide the warm tots among small cups and top with about a tablespoon of the cheese sauce, then a tablespoon of the ground beef. Top each with a small squiggle of ketchup and mustard and nally a pickle on top and a light sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Tips:
- Use a large muffin tin: This will help to ensure that the tater tot cups are cooked evenly and that they are the perfect size to hold all of the delicious fillings.
- Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese can be more expensive and it doesn't melt as well. For the best results, shred your own cheese using a cheese grater.
- Cook the tater tots according to the package directions: This will help to ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.
- Don't overfill the tater tot cups: If you overfill them, the filling will spill over and the tater tots will not cook evenly.
- Be careful when handling the hot tater tot cups: They can be very hot, so use a potholder or oven mitt to protect your hands.

Cheeseburger tater tot cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
