Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Tater Tots (Page 3 ) | May 17, 2025

Start by preheating your oven according to the instructions on the tater tot package. Preheating ensures that your tots will cook to the perfect crispy texture.

As the oven heats, cook your bacon until it’s crispy and drain the excess fat on paper towels. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small, bite-sized pieces that will fit neatly inside each tot.

Next, prepare the filling by mixing the cooked bacon, shredded cheese, chopped green onions (optional), and a tablespoon of flour in a bowl.

The flour helps bind the mixture together and keeps the filling from being too runny or messy. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined.

Now, it’s time to work with the tater tots. Carefully cut a slit down the center of each tot with a sharp knife, making sure not to cut all the way through.

The idea is to create a small pocket to hold the filling, so take your time to make a neat slit in each one.

Stuff each tater tot with the bacon and cheese mixture. Use a small spoon to add the filling, making sure to pack it in without overstuffing.

If you find it difficult to stuff the tots, try using a piping bag to make the process easier.

Once stuffed, place the tater tots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there’s enough space between each tot for even cooking.

If you want to fry the tots instead of baking them, heat oil in a deep pan and carefully fry the stuffed tots until they’re golden brown and crispy.

Bake or fry the tots for the recommended time based on the method you choose. Once they’re done, let them cool slightly before serving.

You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, depending on your preference, such as ketchup, ranch, or a spicy dipping sauce.
