### How to Make Nashville Hot Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks
1. **Wrap the Cheese:**
Wrap each mozzarella stick tightly with a slice of bacon. Secure both ends with toothpicks to hold everything in place.
2. **Season Generously:**
Sprinkle the bacon-wrapped sticks all over with your Nashville hot seasoning. Don’t be shy — this is where the flavor kicks in.
3. **Bake or Air Fry:**
* **Oven:** Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and cheese is just starting to melt.
* **Air Fryer:** Cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes for extra crispiness.
4. **Cool Slightly & Serve:**
Let them rest a minute or two to avoid cheese lava burns, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

### Pro Tips
