Ingredients

12 Hawaiian slider rolls still connected
1 pound deli sliced thick ham or leftover ham
2 cups pulled pork or leftover
6 slices Swiss cheese
2 cups dill pickle chips
2-4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray an 9x13 casserole dish lightly with nonstick spray.
Slice the slider buns in half (keep them connected). Place cut side up in your casserole dish. Lightly brush with extra melted butter.
Bake slider buns for 5 minutes and toasted. Let cool slightly before adding filling.
Layer your ingredients over the bottom buns, starting with the ham, pulled pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and bun tops.
In a small bowl, combine your melted butter with the garlic powder and brush it over the bun tops. Sprinkle tops with poppy seeds.
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are toasted, cheese is melted and sliders are heated throughout. Sprinkle with parsley.
Allow sliders to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with yellow mustard or jalapeno mustard.

Notes

Use slightly toasted bottom buns: Prevents sogginess from juicy fillings
Layer cheese on both sides of meat: Creates a moisture barrier
Use thick-cut deli ham: Adds better texture and flavor
Warm pulled pork before assembling: Ensures even heating
Pat pickles dry: Reduces excess moisture
Brush butter evenly: Helps tops brown and adds flavor
Bake uncovered: Keeps tops lightly crisp
Let sliders rest before slicing: Helps them hold together
Use a serrated knife: Keeps layers intact when cutting
Add mustard before baking: Boosts authentic Cuban flavor
