When King’s Hawaiian asked me to create a recipe using their dinner rolls, I had a couple of ideas. I first made sticky pecan rolls. They were marvelous, but not very photogenic. So, I went back to the drawing board and decided to try a twist on bbq sliders.
These little sandwiches make use of one of the slow cooker freezer meals that is part of our November plans. The Peach BBQ Pork couldn’t be easier and the flavor is outstanding.
I paired the pork with Apple Cole Slaw with sweet vinegar dressing. It’s really easy to make, but the addition of the apple gives a great flavor. It goes great with the pork and the King’s Hawaiian rolls too.
Here’s what you’ll need to make them:
The pork and bbq ingredients aren’t in the photo. I already had it going in the slow cooker.

I am hosting a baby shower and will be making these for lunch, we have 17 people and will be making 2 each. Did you have left overs? Should I double the recipe?
Brianna, I do think you’d need to double the recipe for both the pork and slaw for this many people.
Cannow wait to make these this weekend 🙂
do you think it would be alright to use canola or some other oil other than vegetable?
yes, that will work
How do you make the peach salsa??
Ashley, I buy the peach salsa at walmart. There are other brands as well.
If you want to make your own peach salsa, there’s a recipe in the Ball canning book (the big one). I think the recipe says to let the flavors mellow for a couple weeks after processing, but I have used a jar right away, and it was good.
I am sort of mad at myself for following the recipe when my gut told me ‘woah, that’s a lot of sauce’ and ‘woah, that’s a lot of sugar’!
If you are used to tones of sugar in your meals you might like this, but for me… I don’t usually top my salad with syrup so it was a bit shockfing.
Made as tacos. Delicious, easy, and packed with flavor!
I have the pull pork and we loved it now I’m making it again for a dinner party in about 2 weeks and I’m wondering do you use white or apple vinegar?
Either type will work.
I make this recipe all the time, and wanted to thank you! It is my 80 year old mother’s favorite meal, lol!
She asked for it once and I couldn’t find the salsa, so I just chunked up some peaches and two jalapenos and tossed them into the crockpot and it was great, too. Now I add peaches all the time, when they’re in season.
Can I use dried parsley in the coleslaw? I usually use fresh parsley when I make this, but my grocery store doesn’t carry parsley.. #smalltownproblems. I feel like the parsley adds such a nice freshness and I just don’t know if dried will do the same.
