Ingredients

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound pulled pork
  • 2/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 6 slices White cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 pound bacon chopped in 2 - 3" pieces

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

Sliders

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Place sliders on a baking sheet and cut in half.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on both the top and bottom of the slider rolls. Place in the oven for a few minutes until bread is slightly browned.
  • Warm pulled pork with barbecue sauce.
  • Spread warmed pulled pork with barbecue sauce evenly across slider rolls.
  • Add slices of cheese evenly on top of pork.
  • Sprinkle bacon evenly on cheese.
  • Place top layer of the sliders on the sandwiches

Glaze

  • Melt butter and stir in remaining glaze ingredients.
  • Spoon over slider rolls and bake for 5 - 10 minutes until cheese is melted and buns begin to brown on top.

Notes

  • If you don't have a long bread knife a serrated knife can be used. Start along one side and slowly spin the pan as you cut in a circle around the rolls.
  • Do NOT separate the sliders. Keeping them all attached will save a lot of time when assembling the mini sandwiches.
  • Browning the sliders isn't required, but it certainly adds another beautiful flavor to each slider and helps prevents the buns from getting soggy.
  • Making your own bacon and chopping into 2 - 3" pieces work great, I really love to see a nice piece of bacon settling into melted cheese, but purchasing precooked bacon bits works well too and can save time.
  • Yellow sharp cheddar works as well as sharp white cheddar.
  • Shredded cheese works fine too, it may take a little longer to melt and may run more than slices depending on how much is used.
  • We've tested this recipe with Havarti and mozzarella and definitely like cheddar the best!
  • These sliders are best just out of the oven!
