Smoked Pulled-Pork Sliders

These delicious pulled-pork sliders are tiny yet warm sandwiches filled with shredded pulled pork and served with whatever BBQ sides and sauces you desire.

Slider Ingredients:

1 dozen of slider buns

3 cups of pulled pork from Goode Co.’s Slow Smoked BBQ Ribs

1/2 cup barbeque sauce, like our Original, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try our Heavy Garlic BBQ Sauce. Use more or less depending on how saucy you want the sliders.

1/4 cup butter

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic or onion salt

Slider Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice each bun in half, remove the tops, and put them to the side.
Arrange the bottom halves of the buns in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the pulled pork evenly over the buns, drizzle with BBQ sauce (optional), and place the bun tops back on.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix the butter, Worcestershire sauce, and onion salt.
Microwave for 30–60 seconds until the butter is fully melted.
Carefully pour the butter mixture over the tops of the buns, or use a spoon to spread it evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Let the sliders cool before serving.
