🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, let's prep that pineapple BBQ glaze. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, BBQ sauce (I like a smoky hickory flavor, but use your fave), brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. It's okay if you go a bit overboard with the pepper flakes if you like a little kick!
- Bring the glaze to a simmer over medium heat. Now, here's the patience part: let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up a bit and becomes gloriously sticky. You'll know it's ready when it coats the back of a spoon. Don't rush this step; that glaze is the key to all the flavor!
- While the glaze is simmering, let's get those sweet peppers ready. Core and seed the peppers (I like using a mix of red, yellow, and orange for a colorful pop), then slice them thinly. Set them aside for now.
- Time to warm up the ham! You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Just make sure it's heated through, but not dried out.
- Now for the fun part: assembling the sliders! Slice those slider buns in half, and lightly toast them if you’re feeling fancy. It adds a nice bit of texture.
- Spread a thin layer of the pineapple BBQ glaze on both the top and bottom halves of each bun. This will keep the buns from getting soggy and add even more flavor.
- Place a few slices of warmed ham on the bottom bun. Don't be shy, but don't overstuff them either. You want to be able to actually eat the slider without it falling apart!
- Top the ham with a generous helping of those sliced sweet peppers. The crunch and sweetness of the peppers are a perfect counterpoint to the smoky ham and tangy glaze.
- Drizzle a bit more of that amazing pineapple BBQ glaze over the peppers. Because why not? It's delicious!
- Place the top bun on the slider, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Aren't they pretty?
- Serve immediately and watch them disappear! These sliders are best enjoyed warm, so don't let them sit around for too long.
- If you want to get extra fancy, you can serve these sliders with a side of coleslaw or potato salad. But honestly, they're pretty darn good on their own.
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the glaze.
- Feel free to use your favorite type of BBQ sauce. A smoky or sweet variety works best.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and warmed up just before serving.
