Party Ham Sandwiches

Image from the internet

Years ago, these were called "Party Ham Sandwiches."

Now, they're called "sliders!"

Some people think they have the market on "new" just because they make it smaller!

Not true!

Regardless of what you call these, we call them "Good!"

My cherubs love these sandwiches.

My Mr. loves them too!

Well, I'm not going to lie -- I love them!

But I love them for other reasons than the rest of my family!

I love them for three reasons:
  1. They're easy to make
  2. They make great lunchbox leftovers
  3. They're rarely duplicated when you take them to a party
Those are reason enough to make them!

If this is a recipe that you remember from long ago, treat yourself to an easy dinner!

If this is new to you, you're going to be thrilled!

Whether you take them to a party or serve them at dinner along with a salad, you will be glad you made them!

Party Ham Sandwiches

1 package of 12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
1 pound shaved ham
8 slices of swiss cheese
1 TBSP spicy deli mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup butter
1-2 TBSP poppy seeds
1-2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Split the rolls in half, horizontally, forming a top and bottom piece

Mix the mayo and mustard together.  Taste to see if you like it -- adjust accordingly.  Spread the mixture on the bottom bread pieces.

Layer the ham then the cheese and place the top of the bread on the cheese.

At this point, if you want to wrap in foil and freeze, you can do that!  Before cooking, thaw and follow the remaining steps!

Melt the butter and add the poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce together.

Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet with a rim.

Remove the top layer of bread and drizzle about 1/2 of the butter mixture on the cut side of the top piece of bread, allowing it to soak in.

Replace the top bread and drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the top of the rolls, allowing it to run over the edges.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and ham is hot.  You want the bread to be toasty, but not burnt.

**I usually bake the sandwiches uncovered until the top is golden like I want, then I place a piece of foil over the top of the rolls and allow the ham and cheese to continue to heat.  I want to make sure the insides are nice and hot and gooey!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
