How to Make Pulled Pork Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
One of our new favorite dinners is pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw. We love making pulled pork sliders on yummy slider rolls or on our favorite sweet Hawaiian rolls!
These pulled pork sliders have melted Mozzarella cheese and fresh coleslaw served on the side or right on the sandwich. You decide what you prefer! We love it both ways.
We love using sweet yummy Hawaiian rolls for this recipe, but you could also use potato buns as well.
Simple and delicious dinner to prepare - pulled pork sliders
- 1-1/2 lbs. BBQ Pulled Pork
- 1 (12 oz.) package Hawaiian buns
- 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon Sesame seeds or poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups coleslaw
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Cut buns in half horizontally and place the bottom half in a baking dish. If you like mayo on your sandwiches, spead a layer on the top buns.
-
Spread pulled pork evenly over the bottom buns. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese.
-
Place the top buns over the pulled pork and cheese. Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the top buns. Sprinkle buttered buns with your choice of seeds.
-
Bake covered for 15-20 minutes, uncover and bake for 5 minutes, carefully not to burn.
How to Make Pulled Pork Sliders using Hawaiian Rolls:
- Cut the rolls on the diagonal and leave both the top and bottom rolls intact.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls into a casserole dish.
- Spoon the BBQ Pork on top of the rolls and spread using a fork.
- Sprinkle pork with the Mozzarella cheese.
- Place the top of the rolls on the pork and cheese.
- Brush with melted butter.
- Bake covered for about 20 minutes, bake uncovered for 5 minutes.
A mixture of melted butter and garlic powder is brushed on the top of the buns.
Baking the additional 5 minutes uncovered leaves the top of the buns nice and golden brown.

Pulled Pork Sliders with Cheese
We love adding cheese to our pork sliders. We use Mozzarella cheese, but you could also use Swiss or grated Parmesan cheese as well. White cheddar is also a favorite cheese of many and would work well too.
How Long will Pulled Pork Last in the Freezer?
About 4-5 months if sealed properly. When ready to use, simply thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in the microwave.
What to Serve with Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Cole Slaw is one our favorite side dishes to serve. Serve on the sandwich or a side, or both!
Parmesan Crusted Potatoes are an excellent choice as well.
Something light also goes well as a side dish like a tossed salad or a side of fruit.
