Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 lbs pulled pork
- 8 slices bacon
Cheese and Dairy:
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
Seasonings, Sauces, and Base:
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 large bag frozen french fries
- ½ cup green onions
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread a large bag of frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake fries for 20-25 minutes until they reach a golden, crispy texture. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Mix 2 lbs of shredded pulled pork with 1 cup of BBQ sauce in a bowl. Ensure every strand of meat gets coated thoroughly.
- After fries are crisp, remove from oven and spread the saucy pulled pork evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the pork. Make sure the cheese covers the entire layer of meat.
- Scatter 8 crumbled bacon slices across the cheese. Distribute them evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Return the baking sheet to the 425°F oven. Bake for 10 minutes until cheese melts completely and edges turn slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and drizzle ¼ cup of sour cream across the loaded fries. The cream will create beautiful white streams.
- Garnish with ½ cup sliced green onions and dust with 1 tsp smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and fries remain crispy. Grab a fork and dig into this decadent comfort dish.
Notes
- Leftover pulled pork works perfectly, and store-bought rotisserie chicken can be a quick substitute if pork isn’t available.
- For a healthier version, swap regular fries for sweet potato fries or baked wedges to reduce overall calories.
- Ensure your cheese is freshly shredded for the best melting quality and avoid pre-packaged shredded cheese which can be less creamy.
- When adding toppings, spread them evenly so each fry gets maximum flavor and no section feels dry or sparse.
