The best thing about game days (besides watching those guys in tight pants running around the field with a football) is definitely the food. We’re all about comfort food of all sorts right now. This is food you’re (eventually) willing to sacrifice extra time at the gym for. Comfort food is food that you only treat yourself to on days that you feel like you need it. Watching football wouldn’t be quite right without comfort food, would it?
How to make Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots:
Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots are so easy to assemble! Lay out a piece of bacon. Put a tater tot on top. Cut open the tater tot a little bit. Place a chunk of cheese inside the tater tot. Drizzle Tabasco sauce on the cheese. Wrap the bacon around the tater tot.
Secure the bacon wrapped tot with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of your ingredients. Bake at 450 for about 15 minutes, until tater tots are cooked through and bacon is crispy. Drain on paper towels to rid these little bites of any excess fat.
Serve immediately! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try one of the suggested variations in the recipe below. Include a pickle for a little bit of a salty addition. Roll the original in brown sugar before baking. Or stuff with cream cheese and peperoncini instead. This appetizer rocks. It’s easy to assemble, it’s kid-friendly, and comfort food fans will devour these in no time at all. In our house, the hands-down favorite is the variation where you roll the original in brown sugar before baking. The flavors of sweet, smoky, and spicy are a delicious combination.
