I know it’s August, but I’ve been testing new tailgating recipes recently. Even though it’s blazing hot and doesn’t feel like football season, it’s just a couple of weeks away. We take our football and tailgating seriously around here, and by ‘around here’ I mean in the SEC. It’s pretty much a religion.
I was stuck in a rut last year, taking Muffuletta and Rocky Road Brownies weekly to our tailgate. Contrary to popular belief, we don’t fry everything here… just most of it. (haha) No, seriously, I rarely fry anything. When we do fry, I ask Big Daddy to do it outside on the grill side burner. You can’t get the fried smell out of your house!

Bacon Cream Cheese Wontons FAQ:
Yes, absolutely! If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake these stuffed wontons in a preheated oven at around 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy.
Definitely! You can prepare the wontons and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before frying or baking. If you’re planning to store them for longer, it’s better to freeze them on a baking sheet in a single layer before transferring them to a sealed container or bag. This way, they won’t stick together, and you can fry or bake them straight from the freezer when ready.
The accompanying sauce is a perfect match! Simply whisk together soy sauce, honey, and rice wine vinegar to make it. It adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the wontons’ savory and slightly spicy taste. You can also use sweet chili sauce or a mix of soy sauce and sesame oil for dipping.
