Ingredients

Loaded Mashed Potatoes

3 pounds red potatoes
8 ounces cream cheese softened
4 tablespoons butter softened
8 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese shredded, Monterey, Colby Jack, any cheese or combination of cheese will work here

Pulled Pork

6 green onions thinly sliced
6 to 8 cups pulled pork see notes below

Topping

4 ounces Colby Jack shredded, or any other cheese you prefer
3 green onions sliced, optional

Instructions

Lightly spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large pot, add water and salt generously. Add potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender. Remove potatoes from water and drain. Return to the pot. Roughly mash the potatoes with a potato masher.
Add the cream cheese, butter, bacon, green onions and shredded cheese. Mash together with the potatoes. Transfer the loaded mashed potatoes into the prepared casserole dish.
Top with pulled pork and remaining shredded cheese. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese has fully melted and casserole is heated through.
Top with additional green onions if desired, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Pulled Pork Options

You can use store bought pulled pork for this recipe (cook as directed) or make a batch of my Instant Pot Pulled Pork or my Crockpot Root Beer Pulled Pork. I obviously recommend homemade pulled pork but store bought will absolutely work and will make this recipe much quicker and easier to prepare.

Storage Information

This casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To store in the refrigerator, let the casserole cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Make sure to press out any excess air before sealing the container, as this will help to prevent spoilage.

To store in the freezer, put the leftover casserole in a freezer-safe container, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

To reheat, cook in microwave until heated through.
