I am pretty sure you all know my love for bacon by now. I make a lot of food with this amazing ingredient and Sweet Bacon Tator Tots was an amazing new recipe to try! August 31st was National Bacon Day! Perfect!!! Our friends had us over for a party that night, so of course I had to make something with bacon! In all honesty, I would have anyway! We get together with this group of friends a lot and you can guarantee that at least one of us makes something with bacon. I also had a special request to make my Layered Ranch Dip and both appetizers were a huge hit! The kids enjoyed the Sweet Bacon Tator Tots as well, so I am glad everyone could eat them!

Author: Stacey
Recipe type: appetizer
Ingredients
- Approximately 50 - 55 tater tots (thawed to room temperature)
- 1-16-ounce package bacon (strips cut in 4 pieces)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Line a cookie sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top of the pan (This will allow the bacon to crisp on all sides)
- Cut each bacon strip into 4 pieces (Cut the bacon in half and then cut each half in half again)
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and chili powder until well combined
- Wrap each thawed tater tot in bacon and then roll it in the brown sugar mixture Place on top of the cookie rack
- Bake about 10 to 15 minutes at 375, then increase the oven to 400 and let them cook another 5 minutes
- Check to see if they are crisping up, you may need to leave them in 5 minutes longer
- Check frequently at this point so they don't burn
- Serve warm

Thank you Cindy! They are SO good and disappeared quickly at the party! Kids enjoyed them too!
Sounds good, I want to try with Alexias Sweet Potato Puffs. I make my sweet potato fries with chili and brown sugar adding other ingredients so sounds like a similar taste profile.
Yummmm Yummm YUMMMM!! I Love BACON!
So, going to try this! But I’m going to use the Tater Tots with the Cheddar Cheese inside!
Thank You For Sharing this Wonderful Recipe/Idea. 🙂
Yummie
Thanks Kokie!
Made these. I’m not much of a cook, but these came out AWESOME on the very first attempt. I’m making them again this weekend for our Cub Scout Pack’s Pinewood Derby Race.
I’m so glad they were a hit John! My son get’s his car sometime this week for his first Pinewood Derby. Yay!
Ack I didn’t have the bakers rack so these were quite labor intensive, and greasy. Still delicious, but required multiple oil drains then soaks on paper towels, and the fragile tots often fell apart. Don’t do without bakers rack to keep grease off the delicious wrapped tot!
I am making this right now. I used Alexia potato puffs cause not a Tater tot fan..I used my ninja cooker started it on stovetop setting first also browned chicken pieces and used alot more cooked bacon. Just now changed to slow cooker high setting. Will let you.know When it done….
Sounds like you used bacon not cooked that’s why all the grease
What is your recipe for ranch dressing? I am always on the look out for a good one1
