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).

  • Drizzle with BBQ sauce, add a small dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (28 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
salt to taste
2 ½ cups cooked pulled pork
1 cup barbeque sauce
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups milk

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for pulled pork. They have a good amount of fat, which helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Use a good rub: A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the pork before cooking. It helps to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: Pulled pork is best cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This allows the meat to break down and become tender.
  • Shred the pork with forks: Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces. This will help to create a more tender and juicy pulled pork.
  • Serve the pulled pork with your favorite toppings: Pulled pork can be served with a variety of toppings, such as barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Loaded pulled pork cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or party food. They are perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other casual gathering. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of loaded pulled pork cups that will be sure to please everyone.
