Slider Recipes

When deciding what to serve with sliders, you first need to choose what type of slider you’re going to make. You’ve got lots of options.

Carnitas on Hawaiian Rolls

Slow cooked pork that’s been crisped in a skillet makes phenomenal sliders. For each bite you get tender pork with crispy edges. The pork will cook all day in a slow cooker and then you just crisp it up in a skillet before serving.

You can cook the pork weeks in advance and freeze it, then just take it out the day you are serving to crisp up the edges.

BBQ Chicken Sliders

Slow Cooker Bourbon Pulled Chicken isn’t just for game day, it’s great for any time you’re feeding a crowd. Bourbon and a molasses barbecue sauce are the perfect compliment for chicken. This chicken slider recipe is an EASY and healthy dish that everyone will love.

Hamburger sliders

You could also choose a classic cheeseburger slider with BBQ sauce, just the right size for game day and more than enough flavor to feed a crowd. A spicy and slightly sweet sauce coats these scrumptious burgers.

Slow Cooked Beef sliders

With only 15 minutes of prep time, beef sliders are perfect for a weeknight meal or if you need to feed a crowd. Cooked in a slow cooker for the most tender delicious beef. Try it as a slider or as a tacos topped with pineapple mango salsa.

Ham and cheese sliders

If you want something a little more traditional but equally awesome, then try Ham and Cheese Sliders. (from pip & ebby)

These delicious, baked Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls are also known as Tailgate Sandwiches because they are the perfect game-day party fare. They are bursting with flavor and gooey cheese!

Other than the classics, you can make meatball sliders with parmesan chicken meatballs or make mini Smash Burgers.

Best Slider Buns

You’ve chosen your slider, now what do you put it on? It’s going to depend on the sauce and texture. I have two favorites:

Challah Roll Sliders

These rolls are great for a filling that has a sweeter sauce and they’re the way to go when you need a sturdier bun like for meatballs or burgers.

Hawaiian Roll Sliders

For pork or beef carnitas I prefer a slightly sweeter roll. Hawaiian rolls have just a hint of sweetness from pineapple juice that goes great with pork and beef. And if you have picky eaters, they can just enjoy a roll.

What to eat with sliders at a party

You’ve chosen the type of slider and what you’re going to serve it on, both of which can be made in advance of your get together, now all that’s left is what to serve with your amazing sliders.
