Instructions

Ready to make some tasty BBQ pulled pork sliders? Let’s get started!

First, grab your favorite Hawaiian rolls and slice them in half horizontally. Set them aside for now.

Next, mix your pulled pork with BBQ sauce in a large skillet. Heat it up over medium heat, stirring now and then.

While that’s warming, you can toast the buns if you want. Just pop them in a separate skillet or on the grill for a minute.

Now comes the fun part – assembly! Put a heap of that warm, saucy pork on each bottom bun.

Want to add some extra flavor? Try these toppings:

  • Coleslaw
  • Pickles
  • French fried onions
  • Extra BBQ sauce

Put the top buns on and you’re all set! Serve your sliders right away while they’re nice and warm.

Don’t forget napkins – these can get mesty!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Want to make the best pulled pork sliders? Here are some handy tips:

Use a slow cooker or oven for tender, juicy pork. Cook it low and slow for 8-10 hours.

Pat the meat dry before adding your spice rub. This helps the flavors stick better.

Don’t skip the resting time after cooking. Let the pork sit for 30 minutes before shredding.

Try these tasty topping ideas:

  • Crunchy coleslaw
  • Pickled onions
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Extra BBQ sauce

To store leftover pulled pork:

  1. Cool it completely
  2. Put in airtight containers
  3. Keep in fridge for 3-4 days
  4. Freeze for up to 3 months

Reheating tip: Add a splash of water or broth to keep the meat moist.

For make-ahead sliders, assemble everything but the buns. Store toppings separately. When ready to eat, warm the pork and build your sliders on fresh buns.
