LOADED PULLED PORK TATER TOT BITES



Loaded Pulled Pork Tater Tot Bites image

Forget potato skins... have you ever had loaded Tater Tots®? Tots are baked in muffin cups and transformed into crispy potato cups before being loaded with pulled pork, cheese, BBQ sauce, and sour cream. These bites are perfect for a party and also a great way to use up leftover pulled pork.

Provided by fabeveryday

Categories     Pork Appetizers

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
8 ounces prepared pulled pork
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup BBQ sauce
⅓ cup sour cream
3 medium green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place 4 to 5 frozen potato nuggets into each muffin cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove muffin pan from the oven. Using a small glass (e.g. a small juice glass or shot glass) twist and press the tots downward in each muffin cup to create a potato cup. Return to the oven and bake until deep golden brown, about 15 more minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and distribute pulled pork evenly between the cups. Add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese to each potato cup, being careful to try and keep it on top of the pulled pork (not down the sides of the muffin cups).
  • Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the potato cups to a serving platter.
  • Drizzle with BBQ sauce, add a small dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Tips:

  • For a crispy casserole topping, use frozen tater tots instead of thawed ones.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the casserole.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole, such as broccoli, carrots, and celery. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The chicken should be cooked through, but still tender and juicy. The tater tots should be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken tater tot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that are likely to be found in your pantry and refrigerator.
