Notes
Notes On Ingredients
- Hawaiian rolls - 12 slider rolls.
Substitution Suggestion: Sliders are traditionally served on slider buns like Hawaiian rolls (Hawaiian Buns). But they are delicious on brioche buns, and dinner rolls, too. - shredded pork - We like to use leftover bbq made with our Perfect Shredded Pork. It's an easy pork recipe made by slow cooking pork shoulder or pork butt for 6-8 hours to slow roasted bbq perfection.
- bbq sauce - Use your favorite barbecue sauce. Purchase some from the local grocery store or make your own homemade bbq sauce. We use Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce.
- pepper jack cheese - We use sliced cheese. However, shredded cheese works, too.
Substitution Suggestion: May substitute another cheese like cheddar, provolone, Colby jack, or Chihuahua Cheese. - butter - Salted butter is the tastiest. May substitute unsalted butter.
- dijon mustard - optional. Adds tangy flavor to the butter.
- garlic salt
Pro Tips
- Use Slices or Grate Your Own Cheese - Cheese that has been hand shredded melts better than store-bought shredded cheese. Store-bought shredded cheese contains preservatives to keep the cheese from sticking together in the bag and prevent the cheese from melting together smoothly.
- Add Extra Seasonings - Add your own favorite seasonings or spice rub. We love to use our favorite dry rub to add a little extra smokey flavor to these bbq sliders.
- Brush On Butter - Use A Pastry Brush to brush on the melted butter evenly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve them hot, right out of the oven, while the cheese is melted and the meat is tender and delicious.Freezing and Storage
Sliders can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container. Beyond that, freeze them.Nutrition
