We love easy recipes in this house, especially for dinner. Seems like the days just get busier & I’m always looking to get dinner prep wrapped up in 30 minutes or less.
But just because the recipe is easy & comes together quickly doesn’t mean it isn’t over the top delicious. Take these Hawaiian Havarti Pork Sliders for example.
With grilled pork loin filet & a handful of other favorite ingredients, you can have a quick & easy dinner that not only has everyone raving but also coming back for more.
I can tell you that I make a double batch because my large family really loves these. They are perfect for summer grilling, game day or when you are having a party too.

I’m a huge fan of Hawaiian style anything, but pork tops my list of favorites. I could eat pork every single day.
In fact, when we were traveling last fall, I think I had pork 6 times in the 11 days we were on the road. I love it & it’s definitely my favorite dinner food, so I’m always looking to make new & creative recipes with it.
For this one, I had just picked up a new package of Havarti cheese, which was the perfect pairing on these sliders. Of course, you can’t have a Hawaiian dish without pineapple. That’s always my favorite.
I really love to put it on the grill for a couple of minutes. By grilling the pineapple it really brings out the juice, caramelizes the outside & gives it the most incredible flavor that pairs so perfectly with pork like this.

You can really make these your own too. I think they would be great with some caramelized onions or maybe Swiss cheese. I like to add dried bell peppers sometimes when I want an added crunch.
These really are such a versatile dinner & with as quickly as it comes together, I think you will make it as often as we do. I like to pair it with some awesome side dishes like this grilled corn pasta salad or sometimes I make these Oreo Stuffed Peanut Butter Blondies for dessert.
Those are always a huge hit & great after these super awesome sliders.
The cool part is that these are made with this Slow Smoked Mesquite Flavor Fresh Pork Loin Filet from Smithfield, which delivers real flavor, real fast!
I love that it’s already seasoned in the package & ready to go. That makes prep as easy as removing the package & placing on the grill.
It’s so simple & perfect for quick dinners. I picked it up when I was at my local Kroger while doing my weekly shopping.
Did you know that Smithfield Marinated only uses premium cuts of pork? It’s slow-marinated and seasoned just right, so it’s perfect for any night of the week. So delicious and easy to prepare.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen pork?
This recipe won’t work well if you are trying to cook from frozen. Please thaw the pork loin before cooking.
Can I use a pork tenderloin instead?
You bet. Making these with 2 small pork tenderloins will work perfectly.
How many can this serve?
This recipe makes 12 sandwiches, but since they are sliders it will depend on if you are feeding adults or children when it comes to how many it can serve. I would think an adult could eat 2-3 depending on the appetite. That being said, I was perfectly happy with one and some sides.

Can this recipe be doubled?
You bet. If you are cooking for a crowd, maybe tailgating at the game, just cook 2 pork loins side-by-side on the grill.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Hawaiian Havarti Pork Sliders?
- Slice rolls in half to make mini-buns – set aside.
- Sprinkle the pork filet with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the pork loin filet on 375 degree BBQ for approx 20-25 min or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- Brush with a little BBQ sauce and let cook another 5 minutes for the sauce to glaze.
- Once the pork is cooked, slice & add to your rolls.
- Top with the cheese, followed by bacon & then a pineapple slice.
- Add the top of the bun & garnish with a toothpick & mini dill pickle.
What is the best way to store leftover pork sliders?
I like to transfer the remaining sandwiches to a zip-top bag or airtight container and keep refrigerated and enjoy for to 2 more days.
Can I use another type of pork loin?
You can. But I prefer this particular one from Smithfield because it is already pre-seasoned so it really cuts my prep time down. Plus it tastes delicious!

It’s not a party without Havarti! 😉 Seriously though, these little guys look like they come with a good time attached. LOVE the idea for a big picnic or family outing.
