Tips & Tricks (5)
- Slow-Cook the Pork Shoulder 🐷Cook the pork shoulder low and slow (275°F for 6-8 hours) until it shreds easily with a fork, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor absorption of your BBQ seasoning.
- Crisp Your Tater Tots Properly 🍟Bake tater tots at 425°F for the full recommended time without stirring to achieve a golden, crispy exterior that won't get soggy under the toppings.
- Layer Your Toppings Strategically 🏗️Place hot pulled pork and baked beans first while tots are still warm to melt the Monterey jack cheese, then drizzle BBQ sauce last to prevent sogginess.
- Make Your Own BBQ Dry Rub 🧂Combine your BBQ seasoning with brown sugar and apply generously to the pork shoulder 12 hours ahead for a flavorful bark that enhances the final pulled pork.
- Keep Components Hot Until Assembly ♨️Warm your pulled pork, beans, and cheese separately in the oven at 200°F while tots finish cooking, so everything stays hot and cheese melts properly upon assembly.
