Ingredients
Scale
For the BBQ Beef:
- 1 1/2 pounds shredded cooked beef (such as chuck roast or brisket)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
For the Sliders:
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese (cut into quarters)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the BBQ Beef: In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded beef, barbecue sauce, crushed pineapple, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until warmed through and flavors are blended, about 5–7 minutes.
