Indulge in these quick, mouthwatering BBQ pulled pork & cheddar waffle sliders for a crazy good dinner that's ready in a flash!
Ingredients
- • pulled pork: 1 pound, pre-cooked
- • cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • barbecue sauce: 1/2 cup
- • mini waffles: 16, frozen or homemade
- • unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons
- • green onions: 2, thinly sliced
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • pickled jalapeños: 1/4 cup, sliced (optional)
- • salt: to taste
- • black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pulled pork and barbecue sauce, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3 While the pork is warming, lightly butter both sides of each waffle. Arrange the waffles on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
- 4 Once the waffles are ready, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on half of the waffles. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
- 5 Assemble the sliders by placing a portion of the barbecue pulled pork onto the cheesy waffles. Top with a sprinkle of sliced green onions, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños if using. Cap each with the remaining crispy waffles.
- 6 Serve immediately, allowing diners to enjoy the gooey cheese and smoky pork nestled in the sweet crunch of the waffles.
Serving Suggestions
- • These flavorful waffle sliders pair beautifully with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp coleslaw, adding a refreshing crunch to each bite. For a beverage, consider offering a cold craft beer or a crisp, sparkling cider to complement the rich flavors of the sliders. If you're looking to enhance the indulgence, serve with an array of dipping sauces like creamy ranch, tangy buffalo, or extra barbecue sauce for dipping. These additions not only provide additional flavor but also enhance the overall dining experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pulled pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of barbecue sauce if needed to keep it moist. The waffles can be stored separately in a zip-top bag and toasted in a toaster or oven until crispy before reassembling the sliders.
