Easy Pulled Pork Hawaiian Sliders (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 3 cups cooked pulled pork
02 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus extra for serving

→ Buns and Assembly

03 - 12 Hawaiian-style slider rolls

→ Toppings

04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1 cup coleslaw

→ Butter Glaze

06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 - 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 23x33 cm baking dish with butter and line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine the cooked pulled pork and barbecue sauce in a saucepan. Heat gently over medium, stirring until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave for 2–3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
03 - Slice the slider rolls horizontally as a single unit. Place the bottom halves in the prepared dish. Top evenly with the warm barbecue pork, then scatter shredded cheddar over the pork. Cover tightly with foil.
04 - Bake the assembled bottom halves for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
05 - While baking, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, garlic powder, and poppy seeds (if using) in a bowl.
06 - Arrange the top halves of the buns on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush liberally with the butter glaze. After 8 minutes of baking the bottoms, slide the baking sheet onto a separate oven rack and toast for 2 minutes.
07 - Remove both trays from the oven. Discard the foil and pile coleslaw on top of the cheesy pork. Gently crown with the toasted top rolls. Cut into individual portions and serve warm with extra barbecue sauce if desired.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Keep the rolls attached during slicing for easier assembly and transfer.
02 - A serrated knife is best when cutting finished sliders into portions.
03 - Sliders are most enjoyable warm; hold in the oven covered at low heat if not serving immediately.
04 - Consider doubling the batch for large gatherings, as sliders are typically consumed in multiples per person.
