Ingredients
– 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
– 2 tablespoons butter for spreading on the rolls
– 1 pound pulled pork
– 2/3 cup barbecue sauce
– 6 slices white cheddar cheese
– 1/2 pound bacon chopped into 2 to 3 inch pieces
– 3 tablespoons melted butter for the glaze
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar for the glaze
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for the glaze
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic for the glaze
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with a non-stick liner or foil for easy cleanup. This step sets the stage for perfectly baked sliders.
2-Next, cut the slider rolls in half and spread about 1 tablespoon of softened butter on both the top and bottom halves to add a golden touch.
3-Toast the rolls briefly in the oven until theyβre lightly browned, which takes just a couple of minutes. Then, warm the pulled pork with 2/3 cup of barbecue sauce in a pan or microwave until itβs hot and flavorful. Evenly distribute the pork on the bottom halves of the rolls for a hearty base.
4-Assembling and Baking: Layer the 6 slices of white cheddar cheese on top of the pork to melt beautifully. Add the 1/2 pound of chopped bacon for a crispy contrast. Place the top halves of the rolls on each slider to complete them.
For the glaze, mix 3 tablespoons of melted butter with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Brush or spoon this glaze evenly over the tops of the sliders. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the buns turn golden brown.
Once done, let them cool for a minute before serving. This method keeps everything juicy and packed with flavor.
