Ingredients

Before you head to the recipe card for exact measurements, here’s a quick look at what you’ll be using.

Hawaiian Rolls - Sweet Hawaiian rolls are the perfect base for the barbecue pulled pork. They are soft, fluffy, and full of flavor.
Pulled Pork - The pulled pork is the star of the show. It is tender and juicy, and it mixes perfectly with the barbecue sauce. It is also an ideal way to use up leftovers.
Barbecue Sauce - The barbecue sauce adds flavor to the pulled pork and keeps it nice and juicy in the oven.
Butter - Melted butter holds the seasoning that is spread on top of the Hawaiian rolls. The butter adds flavor and helps the sandwiches get nice and golden brown.
Everything But The Bagel Seasoning - The flavor punch on the Hawaiian rolls. Instead of reaching for all kinds of seasoning, just grab this jar of flavor.
Worcestershire Sauce - Worcestershire sauce (or however you say it) adds depth to the butter mixture.
Sliced Cheddar Cheese- I love the flavor combo, and the melted cheese helps hold the sliders together (they are still messy though).
Slaw (optional) - An optional ingredient, but highly recommended. The slaw adds a bit of freshness and is the perfect complement to the barbecue pork.

Tips For The Best Barbecue Pulled Pork Sliders

Use a baking dish instead of a baking sheet. The bottom gets too brown too fast on a baking sheet.
Do not pull the rolls apart before baking; it is much easier to work with the Hawaiian rolls while they are together.

Variations

Add cayenne pepper to the barbecue mixture for a kick of heat.
Add pickles, pickled jalapenos, and/or pickled onions.
Use the sliced cheese of choice. Pepper Jack, American, or Colby Jack are all good choices.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the leftover sandwiches in the refrigerator for up to 4 days if using fresh pulled pork. Do not store with coleslaw; the sliders will get soggy.
Store the coleslaw in a separate container in the refrigerator.
For best reheating, wrap the sliders (without coleslaw) in aluminum foil and heat in the oven at 325° F for 8-10 minutes or until heated through.
