Bacon Wrapped Tater Tot Bombs


 This blog is full, or becoming full, of pinterest inspired meals. So of course I scroll through Pinterest for several hours, with no shame at all, and I find awesome recipes. However, for once I did not find this one. It was sent to me through Pinterest by not only one but two different people. My cousin Carly, as well as Taylor's sister-in-law, Meagan. ~Click here to go to Meagan's blog!~ So, of course I had to give it a try! This creation is an odd one, but tasty. We were having leftovers and happened to have all the ingredients the recipe requires and I figured I would make these tots for our side. The tricky thing about this recipe is not letting the sugar get burnt. The taste of burnt sugar is not an appetizing one. Don't be alarmed when you consume these and it's a sweet taste. If you aren't a fan of sweet things, this recipe would be just as delicious without brown sugar. Give it a try and let me know what your thoughts are!

Ingredients
2 cups frozen tater tots, at room temp
1 oz block of sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4inch squares
4-6 slices of bacon, cut in thirds
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions
Oven: 400
Line pan with foil, lightly oil or spray with nonstick spray.
Working one at a time, wrap each tot and cheese in a piece of cut bacon. Coat wrapped tot in brown sugar. Repeat. Place tots seam side down onto prepared baking sheet.
Place into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Halfway through, use tongs to turn.
Serve immediately!

TATER RATER
"The sugar was weird when burnt, but when it wasn't it was perfect." -Tater

Suggestions: I did not put foil down when I cooked these, so I would recommend doing that; I have a feeling that is how most of the sugar became burnt.
