BBQ PULLED PORK SLIDERS HAWAIIAN ROLLS RECIPES

Steps:

• For the BBQ pork: Whisk together the smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl. Add the pork shoulder and turn to coat.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over low heat and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. 
• Remove the pork to a plate. Combine the onions with the chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 cup water in a slow cooker and whisk together. Add the pork shoulder, cover and cook on low until the pork is hot and cooked through, 8 to 10 hours. 
• Remove the pork to a cutting board and set aside. Pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half or the sauce is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork with 2 forks or chop into pieces. Put back in the slow cooker and top with the reduced sauce, to taste.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss until coated.
• To serve, place the pulled pork on the bottom buns, top with the slaw, then close the sliders. 

Steps:

• Combine chili powder, pepper, salt and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork and place the meat in the slow cooker. Pour the root beer over the pork and cook until tender, about 6 to 8 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low. Using 2 forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and add the KING'S HAWAIIAN Original Sweet Pineapple BBQ Sauce. Mix the sauce and meat together. Slice KING’S HAWAIIAN dinner rolls in half; separate top half from bottom half. Spoon a portion of the BBQ pulled pork onto bottom half of each roll.Use a quarter slice of cheese to create teeth for each slider. Place teeth on top of the pulled pork. Slice an inch-long slit across the top half of each roll to place "hair" into. Place on top of the pulled pork, creating a slider. For hair: Gently arrange shredded carrots and julienned bell pepper into the prepared slit across the top of the roll.For eyes: Use a quarter slice of cheese to create 2 eye shapes for each slider. Use 2 toothpicks to attach cheese. Then place a blue cereal loop and olive quarter onto each toothpick. For nose, eyebrows and ears: For each slider, cut the tip of a baby pepper as the nose. Divide the remaining pepper in half. Cut one portion lengthwise to create ears and cut the other portion into 2 rectangles for eyebrows. Gently place each onto the slider. If necessary, use toothpicks to secure.
