Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Tater Tots thaw to room temp
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese cut into cubes
  • 16 ounces bacon
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon horseradish
  • ⅓ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon oregano
  • pinch black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Hot Sauce Frank's

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut tater tot in half lengthwise and place cheese cube inside. Piece back together and wrap with a piece of bacon. (Cut each bacon strip into thirds) This will keep it together.
  • Combine the brown sugar and chili powder in a bowl. Then wrap each bacon wrapped tot in the brown sugar mixture. Place on a cookie sheet seam side down. Just keep making them until you run out of bacon.
  • After rolling all the tots bake for 20 minutes. Halfway through cooking time turn them over and finish cooking until the bacon is crispy.

Sauce

  • Mix all the sauce ingredients together. Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • In order to make delicious tater tots you will want to make them either in the oven or the air fryer. The oven and the air fryer will preserve the crispiness of the tots.
