Recipe for Pulled Pork Sliders
Ingredients:
- 1½ pounds TBS pulled pork (any flavor)
- ¾ to 1 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for serving
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 1½ cups coleslaw (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for toasting buns)
Directions:
1. Warm the Pulled Pork
In a medium saucepan or skillet, heat the pulled pork over medium heat. Stir in ¾ cup of BBQ sauce and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add a splash of broth or water if it seems dry.
2. Toast the Buns (optional)
Brush the cut sides of the slider buns with melted butter. Place them on a skillet or under the broiler for 1–2 minutes or until lightly golden.
3. Assemble and Serve
Spoon about ¼ cup of the pulled pork onto each bottom bun, top with 2 tablespoons of coleslaw, and finish with the top bun. Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Tips & Variations:
- DIY slider bar: Set out toppings like pickles, jalapenos, cheese, and different BBQ sauces so everyone can build their own.
- Make them spicy: Stir 1–2 tablespoons of hot sauce or a ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper into the pulled pork while it heats.
- Crisp the pork: After heating, spread the pulled pork on a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes to get crispy edges similar to a BBQ joint.
