Trashy Tots...Oh Yeah!!!

While watching The Chew one day, I discovered this little gem of a recipe and just knew The Herd had to try it!

I mean, its tater tots, cheese, bacon and brown sugar! That's basically 4 out of 5 food groups right there! (Just kidding, I do know what the actual food groups are!)

With Sarah's Sweet 16 coming we decided to try them out on her party guest and there was not a tater tot to be found at the end of the night so I'd say they were a winner!

We have made a few preparation modifications to the original recipe but the taste is the same

Without further delay, may I present the only appetizer you will ever need again :


 
Trashy Tater Tots
 
1/2 a bag of tater tots, thawed to room temp
1 8oz pkg cheddar cheese cubes, cut into 3rds
Hot sauce ( now we left this out but if you want a kick to them, add it!)
1 lb of thin sliced bacon, cut into 3rds. (Bacon stretches)
1/2 cup brown sugar
toothpicks
 
 
Heat your oven to 375. Line a cookie sheet with heat duty foil.
 
Cut a small slit in each tater tot and place a piece of the cut cheese (insert joke here) in the opening. Dash the hot sauce on the tot here if you want to add some spice. If not, wrap the tots in a piece of the bacon. Secure with a toothpick, then roll each tot in the brown sugar.
 
Place tots on your cookie sheet and bake about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping tots half way through baking.
 
Serve warm.
 
 
Here are Erin, Sarah and their friend Ryan making these beauties the day of Sarah's Sweet 16!
