Just in time for the super bowl!
Bacon Wrapped Tater TotsI made these a couple years ago for a TVWBB potato throwdown, but they are so good they deserve a spot in the recipe section. My friends still ask for these as appetizers. If your tired of ABT's or just want to knock the ABT down a notch. Give these a shot. You'll be glad u did.
Bacon-Wrapped Tater TotsTake some tater tots, add in a slice of pickled jalepeno, wrap it up in a half strip of bacon, tooth pick 'em, grill them indirect like you would your ABT's or MOINKS then top with shredded cheese and enjoy.
THESE were OMF'n GOD good! Make 'em yourself. You won't have any leftover either!
I've made them for guests and they said its the best thing they've eaten in at least 10 years.
TIPS
# Let the tot thaw some before you toothpick 'em.
# I used a chunk of oak for smoke wood and it was great.
# I used fiesta cheese but pretty much any shredded cheese would work good.
# I cooked mine hotter prolly 400•ish to get crispy bacon about 25 minutes.
# I've also deep fried these with great success.
# Enjoy with friends and beer and make 2 batches!
Others have omitted the cheese and still enjoyed them. I think it takes it to the next level with the taco cheese.
So please try em for yourself and post up what your friends think of your bacon wrapped tater tots.
