Ingredients

• 1 lb pulled pork or beef brisket
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (preferably homemade)
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 8 slider buns
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, toss the pulled pork or beef brisket with BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated meat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
3. In another skillet, melt butter and cook pineapple slices on both sides until lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes per side. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cooked pineapple and toss to coat evenly.
