OMGosh~~I’ve done what I thought was super impossible and stuffed something totally new into an innocent Jalapeño!
I didn’t think I could do it, but here we are!
Toasty Tot filled, Bacon wrapped Cheesy Pepper Poppers are now a reality, and ready to grace your lips in under 30 minutes!
I have to say that this combo is SO amazingly delicious, and unique that they were literally gone faster than it took to make them! Before I knew it I was back in the kitchen making MORE! And writing down the recipe as fast as I possibly could for everyone that was begging me for it..lol. 🙂
~They ARE that good!
What you’ll need for 30 Poppers:
15 fresh Jalapeños
1 cup Shredded Cheddar
1lb. Bacon
30 Tater Tots..frozen and semi defrosted
Directions:
Slice and core out the Jalapeños
Fill each of them with some Shredded Cheese and top each one with two Tater Tots…
Now wrap them in half a slice of Bacon. You can use a whole slice of Bacon per each one for more, but you’ll need 2 lbs. of Bacon! I’d go with the “more Bacon” route..! 🙂
Bake them on a baking sheet with a rack at 400 degrees for approx. 40 minutes, or until the Bacon is golden and crispy!
Let them cool~
Serve them only to people that you want around for a while…they won’t be going anywhere for a long time..lol
Be sure to grab some for you…
And try to hurry, these go FAST…
Dig in! ~Enjoy! 🙂
These are KILLER!!!
WOW! Crunch, Heat,and Bacon! The tots have to be a delicious addition to the poppers, just when I didn’t think they could be improved.
I’ve made these several times, and they are amazing! So easy, so delicious, the only thing I do differently is to secure the bacon with a toothpicks. Do yourself a favor-make these as soon as you can!
SIMPLY DELICIOUS. I MIXED CREAM CHEESE WITH THE SHREDDED. AMAZING!
I’ve made these & they are delicious! I do secure my bacon with the toothpicks, yet, I still have trouble with it almost completely melting/cooking away! I’ve actually cooked these in the oven AND on the grill & have the same problem at both places. I double-checked the recipe to see if you were using extra thick bacon but it doesn’t look like you are…. I’ve also tried to pay attention to my temperature & I really don’t think I’m out of range in that area. Do you have any helpful suggestions to offer??? (Also….I have substituted fresh pineapple for tater tots & it is to die for also! ….& it helps keep carbs down!!)
