Quite possibly the most delicious meal I’ve ever made — it’s unbelievably good.

Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Frozen tater tots | 24 |
| Bacon slices, cut in half | 12 |
| Brown sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Chili powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Toothpicks | As needed |
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to help the bacon crisp evenly.
2. Mix the Coating
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and chili powder.
3. Wrap the Tater Tots
Take each frozen tater tot and wrap it with a half slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick to hold everything in place.
4. Coat and Arrange
Roll each bacon-wrapped tot in the brown sugar mixture until well coated, then place them on the wire rack. Continue until all the tots are prepped.
5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is nicely crisp and the tots are golden brown.
6. Serve
Let them cool for a minute or two, then enjoy while warm and crispy.
