Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks

Tips for Success

• Freezing is Key: Don’t skip the freezing step! Freezing the mozzarella sticks before wrapping them ensures the cheese stays inside and doesn’t leak out while frying.
• Use Thick-Cut Bacon: Thick-cut bacon works best for this recipe because it stays crispier and holds up better around the mozzarella stick. It also adds more flavor!
• Oven-Baked Option: If you prefer to bake these mozzarella sticks instead of frying them, you can preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks on a wire rack for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden.
• Make Your Own Nashville Hot Sauce: If you want to take the spice level up a notch and make it your own, you can easily make homemade Nashville hot sauce. Simply combine cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, and a bit of oil to create that perfect fiery blend.
