Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag frozen tater tots (32 oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
- 1 cup cooked ground beef or pulled pork
- ½ cup diced red onions
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake according to package instructions, typically about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the tater tots are baking, cook the ground beef or pulled pork if not already prepared. Warm up the BBQ sauce and mix it with the cooked meat to coat it evenly.
- Assemble the Nachos: Once the tater tots are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses evenly over the hot tater tots. Top with crumbled bacon, BBQ-coated meat, and diced red onions.
- Bake the Nachos: Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle BBQ sauce over the nachos. Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness.
- Serve: Serve your Loaded Cowboy BBQ Tater Tot Nachos hot and enjoy the irresistible combo of crispy, cheesy, and smoky flavors!
Notes
- Feel free to customize your nachos with different meats like shredded chicken or add extra toppings such as jalapeños for a spicy kick!
- For an even crispier result, use a wire rack to bake the tater tots so air can circulate around them.
