I enjoy pulled pork sliders because they bring together everything I love about comfort food in one small, satisfying package. The tender, slow-cooked pork carries rich, smoky flavor, while the sauce adds that perfect tangy-sweet balance. Layered on soft buns with a touch of crunch from fresh toppings, each slider is bold, messy in the best way, and full of flavor. What I love most is how versatile they are—whether it’s for a casual family meal, game day, or a gathering with friends, these sliders always hit the spot. I’m excited to share this recipe so you can enjoy the same mouthwatering goodness.

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a serrated knife, slice the entire sheet of rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact.

  2. Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the pulled pork and barbecue sauce. Spread the pork evenly over the bottom layer of the rolls.

  3. Add Cheese & Toppings: Arrange the cheese slices over the pulled pork. If using, add coleslaw, pickles, or other toppings on top of the cheese. Place the top half of the rolls on top.

  4. Make Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley.

  5. Bake: Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the pork is heated through.

  6. Brown the Tops: Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are lightly golden and toasted.

  7. Serve: Let the sliders cool slightly, then cut them into individual servings along the perforations. Serve warm and enjoy!

Pulled Pork Sliders shine even brighter when paired with the right sides and drinks. For a hearty, balanced plate, serve them alongside crispy sweet potato fries, which bring just the right touch of sweetness to complement the smoky pork. Add a little crunch with pickles and chips, giving guests that classic salty-sour bite to cut through the richness of the sliders. And to wash it all down, keep it refreshing with a tall glass of fresh lemonade or iced tea—simple, crisp, and the perfect way to round out this comfort food favorite.
