Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 bag frozen extra crispy tater tots
• 6-8 slices of bacon, cut in half lengthwise and into thirds (so you get 6 pieces from 1 piece of bacon)
• 2 jalapenos, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup barbecue sauce
• ½ of a .4-ounce package of Buttermilk Ranch mix (I use Hidden Valley Ranch)
• ½ cup buttermilk
• ½ cup mayonnaise

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet and lightly spray rack with cooking spray.
• Using a pastry brush, lightly brush barbecue sauce on both sides of bacon.
• For each tater tot, place a jalapeno slice flat against the side of the tater tot, and wrap bacon all the way around tater tot so that it completely covers the jalapeno. Place on wire rack.
• Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until bacon is brown and crispy.
• Meanwhile, mix together ranch mix, buttermilk, and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
