Pulled Pork Sliders
These homemade Pulled Pork Sliders on Hawaiian rolls are packed with flavor! Made with slow-cooked barbecue pulled pork, crispy bacon, and a spicy coleslaw for pulled pork sliders, they’re the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pulled pork see my Dutch Oven Pulled Pork Recipe
- 6 slices thick cut bacon cooked and cut into bite sized pieces
- 12 slider buns
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 cups green cabbage shredded
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1-2 jalapeños finely chopped
- ⅓ cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder or cayenne
Instructions
- Prepare the pulled pork using my Dutch Oven Pulled Pork recipe or warm up your favorite pulled pork in a skillet over medium heat. (If using your own pulled pork, you may also need barbecue sauce.)
- Make the spicy coleslaw by combining shredded cabbage, thinly sliced red onions, chopped jalapeños, mayo, sugar, apple cider vinegar, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder in a large bowl. Mix well and adjust seasonings to taste.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and lightly butter the cut sides. Toast in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.
- Assemble the sliders by layering pulled pork on the bottom half of each roll, a drizzle of barbecue sauce if desired, followed by crispy bacon and a generous scoop of spicy coleslaw. Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately!
Notes
Dutch Oven Pulled Pork - This recipe will make more than what you need to make 12 sliders.
- Make Ahead – The pulled pork can be made a day in advance and reheated for easy assembly.
- Adjust the Spice – Add extra jalapeños or chipotle powder to the coleslaw for more heat or leave them out if you prefer a milder coleslaw.
- Crispy Rolls – Toasting the Hawaiian rolls adds great texture and prevents them from getting soggy.
- Extra Sauce – If you love saucy sliders, drizzle a little extra barbecue sauce over the pulled pork before adding the coleslaw.
