Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots

This is a great recipe for a different kind of snack on the grill.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

1 large bag of tater tots
2 packages of bacon
1 box of toothpicks
1 salt shaker
1 pepper shaker
1 container of Ranch Dip your preferred choice


You will want to start your grill up. While your grill is getting up to temperature you can start perparing the tots for grilling. You will want to have a large container ready for your tater tots to hold as you prepare them. Hint it helps if you do this with a friend or two. The process goes so much faster.

You will pull out the bag of tater tots and let them sit out a little bit so that they are not completely frozen. You will also want to have yout toothpicks, bacon, salt, pepper, and a sharp knife setup.

Pull out your bacon and go ahead and cut the strips into 3 pieces each. You may do them individually or as a group of bacon slices. The bacon slices are a little easier to cut if the bacon is a little frozen.

Now wrap each slice of bacon around a tater tot and the insert a toothpick through each to hold the bacon in place. Frozen tots are hard to push a toothpick through so be sure to let them thaw a bit. Keep doing this until your bacon is all used up.

You should have all the bacon wrapped tater tots in the container now. Sprinkle each tater tot with a litte bit of salt and pepper. Be very careful with the salt as the bacon is already going to be a little salty. Once all the tots have been seasoned go ahead and place them on the grill.

You will want to space them out evenly. Watch them as they grill and rotate them as needed. Once the tater tots and bacon are nice and crisp then just pull them from the grill. Let them sit and cool down for a minute or two.

Serve them with a container of ranch and watch as they disappear one tater at a time.
