Tater tots are shaped like a football, then loaded up with cheddar cheese, crunchy bacon and sour cream. What football fan wouldn't be happy with these?
- 1/2 bag tater tots or tater coins
- 1 c. sharp cheddar, shredded
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
-
Lay tater tots out in the shape of a football. This was easiest to do when I made the outline first and then filled in the middle, adjusting as I filled.
-
Bake tots for 15 minutes.
-
Sprinkle 1/2 c. shredded cheese over hot tater tots, then top with bacon. Top with remaining cheese (to hold bacon on). Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and gooey.
-
Put 1/4 c. sour cream in a ziploc bag and cut off the corner. Draw a line down the middle of the football and strings off of either side of the line (see picture).
-
Place remaining sour cream in a dipping container to serve alongside tater tot football.
- I used tater coins instead of tots. Truthfully, I bought the 'wrong' bag, but it turned out to be so much easier to arrange them without anything rolling around.
