Pulled Pork Slider Ingredients

For the Pulled Pork Sliders

• 2 cups of pulled pork. I love to make these with my Slow Cooker Spice Rubbed Pulled Pork, but you could also use your favorite store bought pulled pork. I use a pork butt or pork shoulder for the pork, so its extra juicy.
• Sliced pepper jack cheese. Cheddar would also be great.
• BBQ mayo (recipe below). This adds a delicious tangy flavor to the sliders.
• Kings Hawaiian rolls, or other slider rolls.
• Melted butter.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced. You'll whisk these into the butter to make garlic butter for the tops of the rolls.
• Sesame seeds and poppy seeds, for topping the buttered rolls.
• Broccoli slaw / coleslaw, for serving (recipe below). This will be added after the sliders are baked, if desired.

Broccoli Slaw

I like to use broccoli slaw for this recipe, but you can use regular coleslaw mix as well. To make the slaw, you will need:

• Store bought broccoli slaw or coleslaw mix.
• Mayonaise.
• Milk.
• Sugar.
• Apple cider vinegar.
• Celery seed.
• Poppy seeds.
• Cracked pepper and kosher salt, to taste.
• A dash of cayenne pepper.

Tangy BBQ Mayonaise Spread

• Mayonaise.
• Your favorite BBQ Sauce.
• Apple Cider Vinegar. I prefer the organic kind.
• Worcestershire Sauce.
• Smoked Paprika.
• Onion Powder.
• Garlic Powder.
• Dry Mustard Powder.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.

How to make this Pulled Pork Sliders recipe

If making my Crockpot Pulled Pork, prepare that first, the. proceed with the next steps. You could also use my Honey Chipotle Instant Pot Pulled Pork for this recipe.

Prepare sauce and slaw:

1. Whisk together BBQ mayo ingredients in a small bowl, and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Whisk together slaw dressing, and toss with broccoli slaw mix/ coleslaw mix. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Assembly and Baking: 

1. Cut rolls in half, separating tops and bottoms. Place on a cookie sheet, and place under oven’s broiler on high for 1-3 minutes, until lightly toasted.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Place bottom buns in a large ceramic baking dish or on a parchment lined sheet pan. 
4. Spread and even layer of BBQ mayo on bottom buns. 
5. Add pork in even layer, using a slotted spoon, and leaving behind excess liquid. 
6. Top with even layer of sliced pepper jack cheese (it will overlap some). 
7. Top with top buns. 
8. Melt butter (I do about 30 seconds in the microwave), and whisk in minced garlic. 
9. Brush garlic butter mixture evenly over top buns, and sprinkle tops with sesame seeds and poppy seeds. 
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and cheese is melted. 

Serving the sliders

Serve these sliders warm, and add the coleslaw after they are baked, if desired. These also go great with a little extra BBQ mayo, BBQ sauce, or even some dill pickles.

What to serve with the Pulled Pork Sliders

• Warm Bacon Potato Salad
• Classic Potato Chips or Fries
• Mac and Cheese

Storing and reheating leftovers

These sliders can be cooled to room temperature and stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, in an airtight container, or wrapped in foil or plastic wrap. To reheat, I would recommend baking until warmed through, or reheating briefly in the air fryer for best results.
