Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

Step 3 -Bake the tater tots until they are no longer frozen but not completely cooked, about 10 minutes.

Step 6 -Transfer the cooked bacon halves to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Step 7 -Place the small cheese pieces against one side of each of the tater tots, then wrap them each with a piece of the bacon halves. Secure with a toothpick.

Step 9 -Serve.
