How to Make Cuban Sliders
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Place it in a slow cooker with a splash of water and cook on low for about 8 hours.
  3. Shred the cooked pork using two forks, while slicing the slider buns in half horizontally and smothering each bottom half with yellow mustard.
  4. Layer the shredded pork on the buns, followed by Swiss cheese slices and dill pickles. Replace the top buns.
  5. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the assembled sliders.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
