Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution

For the potatoes, sweet potatoes can be used as a nutrient-dense alternative, offering more fiber and vitamins. Cooking time may need to be adjusted slightly. Cauliflower can also be used for a low-carb option, though it will significantly change the texture and cooking method.

Sour cream can be replaced with Greek yogurt for a higher protein, lower fat option. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. For a dairy-free alternative, cashew cream can be used, though it may need to be thinned slightly with water or plant-based milk.

The pulled pork can be substituted with shredded jackfruit for a vegan option, providing a similar texture. Season and cook the jackfruit as you would the pork. For a leaner meat option, consider using shredded chicken breast, adjusting cooking time as needed to ensure it’s fully cooked.

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 lb bacon – thinly sliced
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 bunch green onions – thinly sliced
  • 2 lbs pulled pork
  • 2 tablespoons killer hogs hot rub
  • 2 teaspoons killer hogs ap seasoning
  • 1/4 cup killer hogs the bbq sauce

Step 1: Cook and Prepare Ingredients

Begin by cooking bacon until crispy, then chop it into small pieces.

Reserve the bacon grease for later use.

Next, prepare your pellet grill for indirect cooking at 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Prepare and Cook the Potatoes

Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes and pat them dry using a paper towel.

Drizzle the potatoes with the reserved bacon grease and season them generously with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.

Place the seasoned potatoes on the grill and cook for about 1.5 hours, or until a skewer easily pierces through them.

Step 3: Hollow and Mix Potato Filling

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the grill.

Carefully slice off the tops of each potato, making sure to reserve the tops.

Scoop out the insides of the potatoes into a large bowl, but leave a thin layer of potato in the skins to help them hold their shape.

To the bowl of potato insides, add one stick of butter (cut into quarters), sour cream, half of the shredded cheese, Killer Hogs AP Seasoning, chopped bacon, and sliced green onions.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 4: Stuff the Potatoes

Spoon the potato mixture back into the hollowed-out potato skins, ensuring enough space is left on top for the pulled pork.

Pile a generous amount of pulled pork on top of each stuffed potato, and then drizzle with Killer Hogs BBQ Sauce.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each potato to cover the pulled pork.

Step 5: Finish Cooking and Serve

Return the loaded potatoes to the grill for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.

Remove from the grill, and garnish with the remaining sliced green onions and crumbled bacon.

Serve these deliciously loaded potatoes hot for a delightful meal or side dish!
