To customize the flavor, try using a different type of cheese. Mozzarella cheese will give your tots a gooey, stringy center, while pepper jack cheese can add a bit of heat and spice.
For a more decadent filling, consider using a blend of cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack for extra creaminess.
If you want to spice things up, add diced jalapeños or chili flakes to the filling. This will give your tater tots a little extra kick.
You could also experiment with spicy cheeses like pepper jack or mix in some sriracha or hot sauce into the filling for an added layer of heat.
For a more balanced option, add some finely chopped vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
These vegetables will provide a fresh contrast to the richness of the cheese and bacon. Be sure to chop them finely to ensure the filling remains smooth and easy to stuff into the tots.

Consider adding different seasonings to the filling to suit your tastes. A dash of garlic powder, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of smoked paprika can enhance.
the flavor of the filling and complement the smoky bacon taste. Experiment with herbs like thyme or oregano for a unique twist.
