Bacon wrapped Tater Tots

Boss Hogg

I haven't posted any pics in a long time, so I thought I'd better let folks know that I'm still cooking. Tried making Maple Bacon wrapped Tater Tots last night after getting a few pointers from Vadalia 1. Coated bacon with DP Raging River, which is about our favorite DP rub. (We were on vacation at the shore for a week cooking on a Weber . Went through almost a whole jar of RR in a week's time)Here are a few pics-


As Vadalia says, "They were deeeelicious!" :laugh:

Looks like you did them indirect. How long do they take? I think I'll give them a try!

Yes please share! That looks amazing.

First, you need to let the frozen tater tots soften a little, or your toothpick won't go through the tater tot when you're spearing the bacon on the tot. You can get 3 tots out of one strip of bacon, i.e. cut the bacon strip in thirds. Indirect cook, platesetter feet up, drip pan, then grid on top. Egg at about 350* It took about 45 minutes. You definitely need a beer or some wine to help cut the grease!! :laugh:

Rebecca- You could start yourself on a prophylactic regimen of Lipitor, and then make them.

Rebecca, maybe with turkey bacon or prosciutto it might get within a two-day fat gram allowance! :ohmy: :ohmy:
