BBQ Pork Burger Sliders

BBQ pork burger sliders with ground pork mixed with barbecue sauce, topped with sauteed onions, and melted mozzarella cheese served on sliders.

These mini BBQ pork burger sliders are created very similar to my grandpa’s BBQ pork burgers featured in my digitial cookbook!

They’re so delicious that they had to be made into sliders too!

Below I will show you the ingredients needed and step-by-step how to make them. Prepare for deliciousness!

Ingredients for BBQ Pork Burger Sliders

Ground Pork
Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce
Shredded Mozzarella
Medium-Sized Onion
Olive Oil
12 Sliders
Butter
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper

How to Make BBQ Pork Burger Sliders

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix ground pork and BBQ sauce together. I find it easiest to mix in a stand mixer, but by hand works great too.

The mixer allows it to blend evenly and I don’t have to get my hands dirty!

Press ground pork mixture evenly into the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The pork will shrink down in size as it cooks.

While it bakes, chop onion and add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat.

Once hot, add onions, season with salt and pepper, and saute for 7-8 minutes until they become translucent.

Remove the pork from the oven and cut the pork in half (or quarters) to transfer to a clean flat surface.

It can be tricky to move the pork as it can crumble easily. Use two large spatulas to transfer in pieces.

Drain grease and wipe the bottom of the pan clean.

Building the Sliders

Slice sliders in half length-wise if not already done so.

Place the bottom of the sliders in the baking dish and carefully place ground pork on top.

Did your pork crumble? That’s okay!

Fill the sliders with the loose pieces and layer them the same way!

Add sauteed onions and mozzarella. I use lots of cheese!

Place the top of the buns on top.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and brush over the tops of the buns.

Brush the tops of the buns with butter
