Prepare Rolls

• 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 to 1 ½ lb of cooked pulled pork
• 8 ounces of shredded cheddar or white cheddar cheese, or 6 slices

Directions for assembly:

1. While pork is warming with sauce at the last step, Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with a non-stick mat, parchment or use cooking spray.
2. Place slider rolls on a baking sheet. Use a long bread knife to cut rolls in half so you have 2 large pieces.
3. Spread at least 1 tablespoon of softened butter on both halves of the slider rolls. Place in the oven for a few minutes until bread is slightly browned.
4. Spread warmed pulled pork with barbecue sauce evenly across slider rolls. Add Shredded or slices of cheese evenly on top of pork. Bake for additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
5. Top with coleslaw if desired. Here is a recipe for cool ranch coleslaw.
