Bacon Tater Tots with Mustard Dip

I found this recipe in a magazine in the late '70's and make it for Thanksgiving.  It was a HUGE hit and I made it every Thanksgiving for years afterwards.  People didn't even bother with the mustard dip….they'll eat this things as fast as you can make them!  And, seriously, only making 12 of these is a joke!  I always have to make the whole darn bag of tater tots to meet the demand for the these!

12 tater tots

6 slices bacon, halved crosswise

4 slices American Cheese

1/2 cup mustard

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp ginger

Blend mustard, brown sugar and ginger and set aside.

Cook bacon halves until slightly browned but still limp.  Meanwhile, prepare the frozen tater tots according to package directions. 

Cut slices of American cheese into thirds and wrap a strip of cheese around each hot tater tot.  Wrap limp bacon around cheese and secure with a toothpick. 

Broil, turning once, until bacon is crisp.  Serve hot with sauce.
