Pulled Pork Sliders are an easy dinner ready in under 30 minutes, with melted swiss cheese, pulled pork, Black Forest ham, and pickles.
Inspired by the famous Cuban Sandwich, these easy pork sliders are baked to a golden brown with Dijon butter on sweet Hawaiian bread rolls, I mean what could be better?
A great party food idea, bake up a tray of slider sandwiches for game days, cookouts, or lazy weekends, they are always a hit...
Pulled Pork Slider Top Tips
- You can make your pulled pork in the oven or in a slow cooker. Try my wildly popular Oven Pulled Pork or make my recipe for Slow Cooker Pulled Pork.
- Hawaiian sweet bread rolls are great, but there are so many options and flavors of small slider buns nowadays in the stores.
- These sliders only take a couple of minutes to prepare once your pulled pork is ready, and they are worth every second.
- The rolls get golden brown by being brushed with the butter/Dijon sauce.
- These can be made ahead, and keep chilled in the fridge then pop in the oven and bake for dinner, game days, or parties.
Fun fact: the Cuban Sandwich actually originated in Miami, Florida! Of course, they serve them in Cuba to make the tourists happy, and I found them on menus in Cuba during my January 2016 trip, but they are not a traditional Cuban dish.

Pulled pork sliders like these can hold their own as a dish, but here are some pulled pork sides for your dinner, cookout, or party.
If you're wondering where the term "slider" came from, it's believed to have originated from White Castle's "slyder," a term they trademarked and used between 1985 and 2009. "Slider" is meant to be used only to describe small steam-grilled sandwiches, but it's often used now to describe any small burger or small hot sandwich.
