Introduction
Indulge in the ultimate BBQ experience with "It's All in the Sauce" Pulled Pork Sliders. Juicy smoked pork, melty cheese, and tangy BBQ sauce create a slider masterpiece.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound smoked pulled pork per slider
- Cheddar cheese slices
- Pepper jack cheese slices
- Bacon strips
- Sweet red pepper, sliced
- Pickle slices
- Lettuce (optional)
- Smokehouse BBQ Swine Sauce - North Carolina Vinegar BBQ Sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame grill, allowing it to reach a medium heat.
-
Warm the Pulled Pork: Spread the pulled pork evenly on the Arteflame cooktop. Let it heat through for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Toast the Buns: Place the slider buns on the plancha section of the grill. Toast until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
-
Cook the Add-Ons: Lay the bacon strips, sweet pepper slices, and pickles on the plancha. Cook until the bacon is crispy and the peppers and pickles have caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
-
Assemble the Sliders: On the bottom bun, layer a generous 1/2 pound of pulled pork, followed by a slice of cheddar and pepper jack cheese, a strip of bacon, some caramelized sweet pepper, and pickle slices. If using lettuce, add it as the final layer before the top bun.
-
Add the Sauce: Generously smother the assembled slider with BearSmokeBBQ Swine Sauce - North Carolina Vinegar BBQ Sauce.
-
Serve: Cap off with the top bun, press down lightly, and serve immediately while everything is still warm and juicy.
Tips
- For extra flavor, lightly butter the buns before toasting them on the grill.
- Use freshly pulled pork for the juiciest and most flavorful sliders.
- Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your taste preference.
Variations
- Try adding coleslaw for an extra crunch and tangy contrast.
