ENTREE: TRAEGER LOADED TOTCHOS

Trina Dunkin • January 14, 2025

TRAEGER LOADED TOTCHOS 

A man is holding a tray of food with a lot of toppings on it.
Consider this more of a recipe suggestion than a hard and fast recipe, as these loaded tater tot nachos are fun to play around with, and you’ll need to eyeball the amounts depending on the size of your baking dish, your crowd, and your appetite. Replace the pulled pork with chicken or brisket and the refried beans with black beans if you like. Skip the olives if not your thing and add bacon if you want—it’s never not welcome.
Prep Time
20 Min

Cook Time
30 Min

Pellets
Hickory

INGREDIENTS 

Totchos
Enough frozen tots to make at least 2 to 3 layers in your baking dish; 4 if very deep
Leftover pulled pork
Canned diced jalapeños
Sliced black olives
Refried beans
Nacho cheese sauce, warmed

Suggested Toppings
Salsa
Sour cream
Fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
Shredded iceberg lettuce
Fresh cilantro, whole leaves or chopped


STEPS 
1

Cook the tots according to package directions. Set aside.

2

Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 400°F; this will take about 15 minutes.

400 ˚F / 204 ˚C

3

In a deep baking dish, add enough of the tots in a single layer to cover the bottom of the pan. Top with some of the pulled pork, jalapeños, and olives. Dollop some of the beans and then drizzle a decent (or decadent) amount of the cheese sauce over the nuggets.

4

Repeat these layers until you run out of room or ingredients, whichever comes first.

5

Transfer the pan to the grill grate and cook until heated through and crisp on the edges. The time this takes will vary depending on the number of layers involved but plan on about 30 minutes and begin checking earlier. To test if hot throughout, poke a skewer into the pan then place the tip of it on your wrist. It it’s hot you’re good to go.

400 ˚F / 204 ˚C

00:30

6

Transfer the baking dish to a heatproof surface. Use a knife to cut around the edges of the pan to loosen the totchos from it. Place a rimmed baking sheet or other large flat serving platter over the pan. Carefully, and using pot holders, flip the baking sheet and dish over. Remove the baking dish to reveal the tower of tots.

7

Serve the totchos with your favorite toppings and dig in. Enjoy!
