Ingredients You’ll Need
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (1 package, connected)
- 2 to 3 cups cooked pulled pork (BBQ or plain, warmed)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for brushing)
- 6 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese (halved)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley (optional)
Step By Step Instructions
STEP ONE – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
STEP TWO – Without separating the rolls, use a serrated knife to slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer. Place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
STEP THREE – Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over the cut side of each half of the rolls.
STEP FOUR – In a medium bowl, toss the pulled pork with the remaining barbecue sauce until evenly coated. Spread the pulled pork over the bottom half of the rolls.
STEP FIVE – Top the pulled pork with an even layer of cheese, making sure it covers the entire surface. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
STEP SIX – In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
STEP SEVEN – Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
STEP EIGHT – Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

Notes
Store leftover pulled pork sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place the sliders on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and warm in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted. You can also microwave individual sliders for 30–60 seconds, although the rolls will be softer.
If you plan to make them ahead, assemble the sliders, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Brush with the butter mixture just before baking for the best flavor and texture.
