Ingredients

12 sweet slider rolls still connected
2 cups shredded cooked pork homemade or store-bought
¾ cup BBQ sauce your favorite flavor
6 slices colby jack cheese or cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, pepper jack, gouda, Swiss
2 tablespoons butter melted, plus more for toasting
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray an 9 x13 casserole dish lightly with nonstick spray.
Place the bottom half of the slider rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 5 minutes to lightly toast. Layer half of the cheese slices over the rolls, then evenly spread the pulled pork on top and drizzle with the BBQ sauce.
Arrange the remaining cheese slices over the pulled pork mixture. Place the top half of the slider rolls over the cheese layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce. Brush the mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the sliders are heated through. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

Build better sliders: Toast the bottom buns first, use warm shredded pork, and avoid adding too much BBQ sauce to prevent soggy sliders.
Get the best texture: Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and shred the pork finely for easier serving.
Finish them properly: Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops and loosely cover with foil if the buns are browning too quickly.
Serve for maximum flavor: Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes after baking, then slice and serve warm for the best texture and presentation.
