Tips and Conclusion

Add some spice: Mix in a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños to the filling for a spicy kick.
Try different cheeses: Swap out cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or smoked Gouda for a unique flavor.
Make it vegetarian: Skip the bacon and replace it with diced cooked mushrooms or sautéed spinach for a meatless option.
Air fryer option: Cook the tater tots in an air fryer for extra crispiness before stuffing them.
