Description

Pulled Pork Sliders – a perfect way to use leftover pulled pork to make an easy weeknight meal, appetizer, or game day snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 small dinner rolls
  • 46 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 46 large slices white American cheese (dairy-free or regular)
  • 35 cups warm shredded pulled pork (smoked, crockpot or instant pot)
  • bbq sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 batch creamy coleslaw
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Make your Creamy Coleslaw and set aside.
  3. Without breaking your dinner rolls apart, cut them in half lengthwise.
  4. Spread a tablespoon or two of butter on the bottom half. 
  5. Then cover the bottom buns with cheese.
  6. Ensure your pulled pork is warm and spread evenly over the cheese.
  7. Drizzle bbq sauce over the top of the pulled pork.
  8. Place the top of the dinner rolls back on top. 
  9. Melt a tablespoon or two of butter and brush on top of the rolls.
  10. Cover with foil and place in the oven, middle rack.
  11. Let warm 15 minutes.
  12. Remove foil and let it continue warming about 5-7 minutes.
  13. Remove from oven and remove the top layer of bun. Top with the Creamy Coleslaw. Return the top buns. 
  14. Sprinkle with a little sea salt, if desired.
  15. Serve immediately. 

Notes

  • Pulled Pork: we have tons of recipes that can make 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.
  • Coleslaw Options: while I love the Creamy Coleslaw here, we also have a Purple Cabbage Coleslaw that is amazing too that you could also use. 
  • Cheese: use dairy-free or regular cheese. Provolone worked great, but so would American or even a Pepper Jack. 
  • Butter: you can use plant-based butter if you prefer.
  • Foil: yes, you need to use foil otherwise the tops of your dinner rolls will get a little too crispy.
