Bringing Home the Bacon
When it comes to football, my heart will always belong to the USC Trojans. But I always enjoy watching the NFL and nothing's bigger than Super Bowl Sunday. My brother and I have a tradition of ordering pizza and wings, but this year I wanted to make these cheesy bacon tots from a Super Bowl party I attended a couple of years ago.
Cheesy Bacon Tots
Makes 12 tots (double or triple the recipe for more)
Ingredients:
12 frozen tater tots, defrosted
12 pieces of sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
Frank's Hot Sauce (I used the Buffalo Wing version)
Bacon
Toothpicks
Directions:
Defrost the tater tots and slice in half. Be careful not to cut through completely.
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Dip the cheese in hot sauce and place in the middle of the tater tot.
Wrap the bacon around the tot and use a toothpick to hold it all together.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon becomes crisp on the outside.
Plate with a paper towel underneath to absorb excess oil.
Serve alone or with a side of ranch or hot sauce.
