Sammich Saturday: Ham & Cheese Sliders

Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! Are these little sliders fan-freaking-tastic, or what?!?!?! I've had my eye on these little babies for quite some time, but never did I dream that they would be as good as they turned out to be. You're probably thinking, Wow, what a weirdo. They're just ham and cheese sandwiches. But you are wrong. They are so much better than your average little sandwich. The secret is in the sauce. I'm almost drooling just writing about them.

Happy Saturday, by the way. Sorry I got a little excited to tell you about the sliders. But really...so good! By now, I am on the last day of a looong work conference, and dying to get back home. I've been eating hotel and conference food for 3 1/2 days, and haven't cooked since Monday. I'm having kitchen withdrawals. However, my woes will soon be soothed by a nice, cold margarita and Cinco de Mayo celebration and T's house when I get back to town this evening. I always look forward to good times with friends. And margaritas. Yes, margaritas will be nice after the loooong days I've had. What are you doing for Cinco de Mayo? Come, have a margarita with me! Ooh, and you should make these sliders and bring them with you :)

Ingredients

Makes up to 24 Sliders

• White dinner rolls (or Hawaiian sweet rolls)
• Thinly sliced honey ham (I used about 3 slices per slider)
• Swiss cheese slices (I cut mine into quarters, and used 2 per slider)
• 2/3 cup miracle whip (or mayo)
• 1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 Tablespoon minced onion
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

1. Spread miracle whip onto both sides of each roll. Place a few slices of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them very closely together in a large baking dish or on a foil-lined, heavy cookie sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together poppyseeds, mustard, butter, onion and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You don't have to use all of the sauce, just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly.
4. 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.
