Cuban Sliders

This Cuban sandwich recipe is one of my favorite ways to use pork shoulder! You can roast the pork just for these sandwiches, or you can just use leftover pulled pork!

Alright, guys. It appears that I have a problem.

I am utterly obsessed with pulled pork. It seems like every get-together we have, I’m serving pulled pork.

No one is even complaining because my pulled pork recipe is so freakin’ good.  It’s topped with pickle slaw. What’s not to love?

I decide to bust myself outta my pulled pork rut, though. Time to change things up. Put away the barbecue sauce. Time to get your Cuban on.

I started with a Smithfield Boneless Netted Fresh Pork Shoulder Roast. This is my second year working with Smithfield to share recipes with you and I’m so happy to be able to partner with brands that I already use and love, like Smithfield! I hope that you guys love all of the creative recipes I’m cooking up for you with their products.

Anyway, the roast I started with is a boneless shoulder roast that was about 4 pounds. I just popped it in the slow cooker with some orange juice and seasonings, covered it, and let it cook all day. Easy to the peasy.

The pork is so dang tender and juicy when it’s done cooking. And the flavor from the OJ is divine. You’re going to love this pork!

Once the pork is shredded, you’ll add it to some Hawaiian rolls along with some deli ham, swiss cheese, dill pickles, and a creamy mixture of mayo and mustard.  You guys, these sandwiches are everything.

I served these to my husband, my brother-in-law, and his wife. The four of us devoured all 12 sliders in record time Luckily, we had plenty of leftover pulled pork to use to make more sandwiches! So dang good. I really think you’ll like these little guys just as much as we do.

Wondering what to do with your leftover pulled? Make this pulled pork enchilada skillet!
