Pulled Pork Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls are a perfect blend of sweet and savory, making them an irresistible choice for any gathering. The tender, slow-cooked pulled pork is rich and flavorful, often seasoned with a smoky barbecue sauce, and it pairs beautifully with the slight sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls. These sliders are easy to assemble and serve, making them a great option for parties, game day, or casual dinners. The combination of the juicy pork, soft rolls, and a tangy slaw or pickles creates a mouthwatering bite that will have everyone coming back for more.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for serving)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- Optional: Coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the pork: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
- Cook the pork: Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker and pour the barbecue sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking juices. Add more barbecue sauce if desired.
- Assemble the sliders: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom half of each roll. Top with coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions if desired, then place the top half of the roll on the pork.
- Serve: Serve the sliders warm, with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
Pulled Pork Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls are a crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect for any occasion, offering a delicious combination of flavors and textures in every bite. Enjoy!
