BBQ’d Pork Sirloin Sliders on Biscuits is a delicious, savory recipe made with chopped Pork Sirloin Roast, sweet bbq sauce, sharp white cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions piled high on hot fresh buttermilk biscuits.
The other day, I was at the local market and noticed that the Pork Sirloin Roasts were on sale. Hence, the first thing that came to mind was my favorite recipe for Bbq Pork Slidders on biscuits instead of hamburger buns piled up with yummy sharp white cheddar and caramelized onions.
Bbq Pork Slidders on Biscuits is an easy recipe to make. Season it with olive oil, sear it, add the herbs and spices, toss it in the oven for over an hour, and forget it until it’s done. Y’all, when I say easy, I mean easy in seasoning the sirloin roast and tossing it in the oven for an hour or so without babysitting that bad baby.
I love this recipe because the cooked pork sirloin stores well. I cooked the pork sirloin roast and put it in the freezer for a quick dinner. You can cook the pork sirloin roast in advance by following steps 1-6 and then tightly wrapping it—place in your refrigerator for up to 3 days or freezer for up to a month.
