These crispy bacon-wrapped pulled pork sliders feature a golden, cheesy Parmesan crust that delivers a perfect crunch with juicy pulled pork inside. Ideal for gatherings, game days, or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (450g) pulled pork, homemade or store-bought
  • 12 small slider buns, preferably brioche or potato buns
  • 12 thin slices of bacon (thick-cut optional)
  • 1 cup (100g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: pickles, coleslaw, BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or grill to medium heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until a slightly wet crumbly mixture forms.
  3. Fill each slider bun with about 2 tablespoons (30g) of pulled pork. Optionally add a teaspoon of BBQ sauce.
  4. Wrap one slice of bacon tightly around each slider, tucking the ends underneath.
  5. Press the Parmesan mixture onto the bacon, covering the entire surface.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and arrange sliders spaced apart.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating halfway through, until bacon is crispy and Parmesan crust is golden. If grilling, cook on indirect heat for 15-20 minutes, turning once.
  8. If needed, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Let sliders rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with pickles, coleslaw, or extra BBQ sauce as desired.

Notes

Use raw bacon for best crispiness. Secure bacon with toothpicks if needed and remove before serving. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to keep crust crispy. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. For dairy-free, substitute vegan Parmesan and dairy-free butter.
