The Sliders
- If you're making the pulled pork, do that first. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt the butter in a small bowl in your microwave (or in a pan on the stove) and then stir in the bagel seasoning.1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons bagel seasoning
- Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls in half so that you have two large pieces.12 Hawaiian dinner rolls

The Pulled Pork

Remove the butcher twine from the pork and then cover it with the spices, working it into all the nooks and crannies.¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt, 1 3-4 lb boneless pork butt

- Remove the pork from the pot and pour the juices into a medium-sized pot. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until the juices reduce to the thickness of BBQ sauce.
- Shred the pork using two forks and then put it in the pot with the reduced sauce. Mix it around and then serve!
Notes
Timing: The time to make this recipe does not include the time to make the pork.
Chipotle mayo: I like a very saucy amount of mayo on these sliders. Feel free to use less if you'd prefer.
Coleslaw: I make a simple coleslaw with thinly sliced purple and green cabbage and grated carrot tossed in a little olive oil. You can buy bagged coleslaw if you'd like, or use one of my many coleslaw recipes.
