Pulled pork sliders are a game day necessity. These amazing pork sliders get an hit of extra flavor thanks to pimento cheese spread. You have to try them for game day or your next party!

You can find pulled pork sliders at pretty much any tailgate or low key party you go to these days. I love this combination of pimento cheese spread and tender, pulled pork because it creates an incredible slider that is a out of the box and unexpected.

You can easily find pimento cheese spread at most grocery stores (especially in the south) but it is totally easy to make homemade pimento cheese. I love this pimento cheese recipe and it works perfect with these pulled pork sliders.

Ingredients for Pimento Cheese Pulled Pork Sliders

  • Cooked Shredded Pork – This is a great way to use pork from a crockpot pork recipe or even smoked pork.
  • BBQ sauce – When choosing a barbecue sauce for these pulled pork sliders, go with something super saucy but not sweet. I usually use this homemade paleo BBQ sauce.
  • Pimento Cheese Spread
  • Red Onion
  • Slider Buns

How to Make Pork Sliders with Pimento Cheese

Pork sliders are so perfect for parties because it is so easy to make them in large quantities.

  1. Start by placing the buns on a baking tray and slicing them in half.
  2. On the bottom half, layer pimento cheese, the BBQ pulled pork, and then the red onion slices.
  3. Top with the slider bun tops and then bake to warm everything up. It is optional but you can brush the tops of the slider buns with garlic butter for extra flavor.

You can use pretty much any kind of slider roll or small dinner roll to make these. I am a big fan of super soft ones but I know a lot of people prefer to use Hawaiian rolls.

Another great thing about sliders is that you can make them as involved or as simple as you want. Make homemade pimento cheese and homemade BBQ sauce or just hit the store and buy the items pre-made.

Our local grocery store even has cooked, shredded pork (with and without sauce) you can buy to make it even easier.

Topping Variations for Pulled Pork Sliders

I top these pimento cheese pulled pork sliders with red onions for a little crunch. Some other great topping options include:

  • Mayonnaise based coleslaw
  • Vinegar based coleslaw
  • Pickle slices
  • Fennel
  • Apple/pear slaw
  • Red Cabbage

I did not include a specific way to cook the pork in this recipe because there are so many options. I typically put mine in the oven on a really low heat for several hours. You could also cook the pork in the instant pot, slow cooker or even on the stove. The goal is to get tender, shreddable meat.
