Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked pulled pork
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag frozen tater tots
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish:
- Sour cream
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Arrange 1 full bag of frozen tater tots in a single, even layer across a large baking sheet. Slide the sheet into an oven preheated to 425°F and bake for 22 minutes until the tots turn golden and crispy.
- Combine 2 cups of cooked pulled pork with 1 cup of BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl, stirring until the meat is completely coated with sauce.
- Spread the saucy pulled pork evenly across the top of the baked tater tots, covering them completely.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the pork layer, ensuring an even distribution.
- Return the baking sheet to the 425°F oven for an additional 6 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become slightly bubbly.
- Pull the sheet from the oven and garnish with a generous dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
- Serve the tater tots immediately while they are hot and the cheese is still gooey.
Notes
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to help tater tots get extra crispy and prevent sogginess.
- Choose a smoky or spicy BBQ sauce to add more depth of flavor to the pulled pork.
- For a lighter version, swap regular sour cream with Greek yogurt and use low-fat cheese.
- If preparing for a crowd, keep tots warm in a low oven (200°F) after baking to maintain crunchiness.
