These bacon wrapped murphy tots came from a test run at making loaded bacon tater tot skewers for the Super Bowl. My goal with political party food is fast, piece of cake, and as few steps as possible. Then I realized that if I wanted to make the skewers (which I loved the thought of as fun finger food for both kids and the adults), it was going to take a few steps also many.

It as difficult to skewer the frozen tater tots and uncooked salary, then peak with cheese. I would have needed to cook the tots half way through, then skewer them along with the bacon, cook again for another fifteen minutes and then the bacon could crisp up, and erstwhile before they were all finished, sprinkle with cheese and then return to the oven. Likewise much fourth dimension and besides many steps!

So instead, bacon wrapped murphy tot cups were created. They're a fun political party finger food fabricated in mini muffin tins and perfect for kids and adults. This recipe is great to brand for holiday gatherings, game day, Super Bowl parties, and as a snack on the weekend.

The bacon is the glue that holds the cup together and one time the bacon crisps, it retains a beautiful bloom-like shape, similar little bacon flowers.

DISCLAIMER: y'all will not but be able to eat just 1, or 2, or 3. These are so irresistibly delicious that yous'll eat more than you wanted! Make enough to share, and serve them with these other delicious and uncomplicated political party finger foods.

Ingredients

Bacon tater tot cups require merely 3 ingredients: salary, tater tots, cheddar cheese.

Make sure to use frozen tater tots for the best results. Since the bacon needs time to crisp, yous don't want the tater tots to overcook before its done.

I find precipitous or extra precipitous cheddar cheese to be the best cheese aslope bacon. But, white cheddar, pepperjack, and swiss cheese are too good choices.

Step-Past-Step Directions

Making bacon wrapped tater tots is incredibly like shooting fish in a barrel. Hither's how to practise it.

First, cut the bacon into 3 pieces and place 2 pieces into a muffin tin cavity.

Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-fifteen minutes, then remove from the oven and top with enough cheddar cheese to encompass the irish potato tot.

Put dorsum into the oven for 5 more minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from the muffin tin with a spoon or fork and put on a paper towel for a few minutes so that any extra grease is captivated.

Tips

I've made salary wrapped spud tots many times in an effort to become the recipe perfect in as few steps and in as petty time as possible. Hither are my expert tips.

Utilize the instructions for oven temperature and elapsing that are on your salary package. For my uncured salary, I had to cook for fifteen minutes. You may need to increment the temperature and time, peradventure even decrease it. If you are using a thick cut salary, you probable will need to melt them longer.

You lot'll use roughly 2 teaspoons of cheese for each spud tot loving cup. Bagged shredded cheese is the quickest, but I think that a freshly shredded cake of cheese melts faster.

If y'all notice that the bacon hasn't fully crisped when removing the tater tot cups from the muffin can, remove all of them and transfer to a blistering sheet. Then bake in 2 minute increments, until the bacon is crisped to your liking.
