Pulled Pork Sliders

These simple pulled pork sliders are the perfect party food. Pulled pork mixed with a smoky barbecue sauce, piled onto tender slider buns, and topped with crunchy coleslaw.
We used rich, tender, buttery brioche buns. King's Hawaiian rolls are also fantastic with pulled pork sliders.

Ingredients

  • 12 slider buns Brioche or Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 4 oz. Dijon mustard
  • 24 ounces shredded pulled pork
  • 1-½ cup smoky BBQ sauce
  • 3 cups coleslaw
  • 12 wood sandwich picks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Split the buns in half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and toast to a light golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. 
  • Remove the buns from the oven, and when cool, spread the bottom half of each bun with butter and spread the top half with Dijon mustard.
  •  Place the pulled pork in a microwavable bowl or medium saucepan. Add 1 cup of the BBQ sauce and mix until the pork is coated in the sauce. (You will save the extra BBQ sauce for later when you assemble the sliders).
  • Heat the pork mixture in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir frequently to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Lay the toasted buns on a workspace. Pile 2 tablespoons of pulled pork on each bun.
  • Spoon some of the remaining BBQ sauce on each pile of shredded pork.
  • Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of coleslaw to the pork, then cover with the top of the bun.  Stick a sandwich pick into each slider to hold it together.

Notes

  • A bag of prepared coleslaw can be substituted for homemade slaw.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • These sliders can be prepared and assembled 1-2 hours in advance, cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
  • Toasting the bread and adding butter to the bottom bun will help prevent the sliders from getting soggy.
