Fourth of July is near and who wants to be that friend that doesn't show up with some sort of side dish? Ok, I'm usually that friend but if you're a better person than me, here's something awesome! Bacon wrapped tater tots! Bet you didn't see that one coming, you know, unless you read the title.
I'm sure you're thinking, "Yes Bacon Me, that does sound awesome but what do I do? Frozen tots? Cooked tots? Whole slices of bacon? Half slices of bacon? I'm overwhelmed!" Here's the great part of all of my wrapping ... I do the trial run, and the trial tasting, and you reap the benefits!
Let's play 'just the tip(s)' ;)
* Cook your tots half way
* Full slice of regular bacon
* Flavored tots are best, like those onion ones
*Toothpicks are helpful .. or so I would imagine had I thought of it beforehand
I wrapped half of these bad boys frozen and the other half pre-partially-cooked. If you like your tots a little soft, go frozen. I like mine crunchy ... hence the tip above.
Thick bacon is too hard to wrap around such a tiny tot but, if you take a whole slice of regular, you still get the full flavor. No recommendation on skimping with half a slice as it's just not enough bacon. I shouldn't have to explain why. If I do, you shouldn't be reading this blog.
Broil. Take out of oven. Throw in a crock pot on warm.
Men: Remove the "Here's the hot chick and/or cool car I'm never going to obtain" wallpaper from your phone.
When you show up to the firework shindig with these tots from heaven, people will be taking your phone to make sure you get their number!
Ok, they probably won't but remove the wallpaper anyway. Look at that, bacon goodness and social tips all rolled into one! Can I wrap that roll in bacon?
