What's for Dinner Tonight?: Ham and Cheese Sliders

My family was so stoked by the Diamond Burgers I did last week for my Super Bowl tailgate, that I knew I had to find another slider recipe. Et voila! Ham and Cheese Sliders!

You wouldn't think that a slider would need a recipe, but the flavor that is packed into these little sandwiches is amazing! From the spread on the sandwich to the glaze on top, it all comes together in a 9x13 baking dish and is pure deliciousness!

I'm pairing it with my Southwestern Chili just as an add-on, but in the future will do it with salads and a relish tray as a stand-alone meal. Or, for my next tailgate. NCAA Final Four, anyone? Or, maybe baseball opening night when the Royals play? Hmmmmm ...

However you pair yours, I know you'll enjoy it!

Ingredients:

24 white dinner rolls
24 pieces honey ham
24 small slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip

Poppy Seed Sauce:

1 tablespoon poppyseeds
1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup butter melted
1 tablespoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very closely together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce. Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.
Note: Sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time. It's not recommended to do it more than a day ahead because they can get soggy from the mayo mixture.
