- Sliced Cheese – in the recipe card below, we used white American cheese. A provolone cheese or dairy-free alternative would also work here!
- BBQ Sauce – we cannot recommend our homemade BBQ sauce more, but any store-bought version would be delicious too.

How To Make Pulled Pork Sliders
Get these easy sliders started by slicing the rolls in half, length-wise, place the sliced cheese on top and pile on the warm pulled pork.
Ways to Make Pulled Pork
There are a variety of ways to make the most juicy and tender pulled pork! A few of our favorite pulled pork recipes include:
Add a generous drizzle of bbq sauce and place the top half of the buns on top. Brush with melted butter.
Tightly secure aluminum foil over the top of the baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes. We love adding some creamy coleslaw to these sliders right before serving.
Keeping Sliders Warm
When feeding a crowd it might be helpful to keep the individual pulled pork sliders warm. They can easily have foil placed over the whole pan, wrap them individually and place in a crock pot on warm, or place the pan in a warm oven until ready to serve.
Recipe FAQs and Tips
- What toppings do you put on pulled pork sandwiches? Our all-time favorite toppings for these sliders is a cool & creamy coleslaw. It is the perfect balance to the warm and tangy bbq pork. You could also add some crispy fried onions, bacon, dill pickles, red onion slices, or even avocado slices.
- What goes with pulled pork sliders? You could serve these sliders on their own as a little appetizer or you can turn them into a meal with some side dishes. Our favorites sides to serve with these are smoked baked beans, cornbread, Instant Pot mashed potatoes, or grilled potato wedges.

Description
Our Pulled Pork Sliders are the perfect way to use leftover pulled pork to make an easy weeknight meal, appetizer, or game day snack!
Ingredients
- 12oz package of Hawaiian buns
- 4–6 tablespoons butter, divided (regular or dairy-free)
- 4–6 slices of white American cheese (dairy-free or regular)
- 3–5 cups shredded pulled pork
- bbq sauce (homemade bbq sauce or store-bought)
- serving suggestion: creamy coleslaw
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prep Buns: Without breaking the dinner rolls apart, cut them in half, lengthwise. Spread a tablespoon or two of butter on the bottom half of buns.
- Layer Fillings: Put the slices of cheese on the buttered bottom buns. Ensure the pulled pork is warm and spread it evenly over the cheese. Drizzle bbq sauce over the top of the pork. Add the top section of buns on top.
- Bake: Melt a tablespoon or two of butter and brush on top of the rolls. Secure a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the baking dish and place in the oven, middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and let it continue warming for about 5-7 minutes.
- Toppings: Remove from oven and remove the top layer of buns. Top with the Creamy Coleslaw and any other desired toppings. Place top buns back on.
- Serve: Cut into individual sliders and enjoy right away!
Notes
- Pulled Pork: we have tons of recipes for pulled pork: smoked pork shoulder, slow cooker pulled pork, instant pot pulled pork and a roasted pork shoulder! They all work great in this recipe.
- Dinner Rolls: feel free to use a whole wheat dinner roll or a Hawaiian-style dinner roll. Whatever you prefer.
- Foil: yes, you need to use foil. Otherwise the tops of the dinner rolls will get a little too crispy.
