Wendy Bradley's Tasty Trashy Taters

By lauramae

Ingredients

• 1/2 bag Tater Tots (thawed to room temperature)
• 1 8-ounce package Sharp Cheddar Cheese (cut in 1/4-inch squares)
• Hot Sauce
• 1 16-ounce package Bacon (strips cut in half)
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil.

step 2

To assemble, cut a small whole in each tater tot and place cheese in opening. Dash with hot sauce and wrap in bacon. Secure with toothpick, then roll in brown sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining taters.

step 3

Bake about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping tots halfway through so that bacon cooks evenly. The cheese may bubble out and burn, but you can trim or pull it off when you take them out to cool. Serve warm.

Helpful Tips:
1. Cut each slice of bacon in half for the perfect size strip to wrap each tot.
2. Roll each bacon bundle in brown sugar for extra crunch.
