Preparing Your Sliders

The Necessary Equipment

To get started, gather your cooking tools. For this recipe, you will need a 9×9 pan, a bread knife, measuring spoons, a small mixing bowl, a spoon, and a pastry brush. Prepping your workspace beforehand will make your cooking experience much smoother.

The Ingredients

• 6-pack of regular Hawaiian dinner rolls
• 1.5 cups of leftover pulled pork
• 3 slices of provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons of prepared horseradish (if desired)
• 1 teaspoon of dried minced onion

Building Your Pulled Pork Sliders

Preparation Steps

Heat your oven to 350°F. Slice your Hawaiian rolls in half without separating them and set the top half aside. Spread the pulled pork evenly over the bottom half of the rolls, then layer your provolone cheese on top. Replace the top half of the rolls to finish building your sliders.

Crafting the Topping

In your small mixing bowl, combine the mayo, horseradish, and dried onion. Use your pastry brush to generously apply this mixture to the top of your rolls. This will create a deliciously seasoned crust as your sliders bake.

Baking to Perfection

Place your sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the cheese has melted, and the topping has baked into the rolls. Serve hot for optimal taste and enjoyment.

Additional Serving Suggestions

While these sliders are perfect on their own, you might consider adding sides or extra toppings. Pair your sliders with a choice of salads, chips, or even a fruit tray. For added customization, offer a variety of toppings such as pineapple slices, coleslaw, avocado, jalapenos, pickled onions, or even bacon. The possibilities are endless, and it’s always fun to allow guests to personalize their sliders.

• This dish pairs well with various sides, such as pasta salad, potato salad, broccoli salad, Velveeta cheese sauce, dairy-free chicken buffalo dip, sour cream and onion dip, and spinach dip with Greek yogurt. You can also simply serve it with chips, a fruit tray, and a veggie platter.
• Feel free to customize your sliders with various toppings after baking. Some suggestions include fresh or canned pineapple slices, coleslaw, avocado slices, mac & cheese, jalapenos, pickled onions, or bacon.
