Super simple supper, but oh so good.

Absolutely stunning sunset as well.

Should have gotten out the real camera.

I see the forum doesn't like panoramic phone pics.

    Gotta love the Tots, especially wrapped in bacon.

    Thank you @SGH @Tjcoley @grege345 @GreenWave36 @J_Que @tarheelmatt

    The bacon wrapped tots were not my idea, I saw them here on the forum awhile back.

    These burgers were 5oz of ground beef formed into patties with a dimple in the middle to keep them from turning into meatballs. Cooked around 425* raised direct. Seasoned the top side and put them on the grill, flipped after 1 minute and seasoned the other side. Flipped every few minutes after that until they were finished.

    The only plated shot I got wasn't very photogenic...

    Here it is anyway.

    Thaw the tots just to the point where you can pierce them with a toothpick without having them break. I usually put them in the fridge for an hour or so and that seems to do the trick. I also like to par-freeze the bacon before wrapping. Slightly frozen bacon is easier to slice, etc.

    Great looking meal and the sunset pic is really cool.  If I click on the pick it goes shows up in landscape mode.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Really @DMW‌, who only eats 4 tots? Especially if they're wrapped in bacon. That egg was stuffed full of tots.

    @stemc33 That was my initial plate. I was sitting right beside the serving plate. I continued to snack on those all night....

    Those bacon wrapped tots are the bomb. I can eat them until I'm sick. Again excellent cook!

    Yummy. You took tots to a new level. Did you pre cook the bacon a little?

    400* indirect. They take roughly 30 minutes. Pull them when the bacon is starting to crisp.

    No, I did not pre-cook the bacon at all.

    Here's the notes I jotted down for someone else that asked about them.

     400* Indirect about 30 minutes or so. Thaw the tots slightly so you can slide a toothpick through without breaking them apart before wrapping with bacon. Each tot is wrapped with about 1/6 slice of bacon. Another tip, raw bacon is easier to work with if slightly frozen. Slice the bacon slice long-ways down the middle, then roll a tot in one of the strips and cut it off as soon as the bacon overlaps. After assembling, skewer each with a toothpick. Works great as a side or app. Watch what you use for rub, these turned out a bit salty. I think next time I'll use a salt-free sweet rub, maybe just brown sugar. The bacon provides plenty of salt.
