I adopted this recipe in Aug. 2006; it originally was posted by CBW. I love these, and DH loves to dip them in spicy mustard. CBW's original comments: "Found these in a Pillsbury Cookbook and have made them several times. My hubby and I really like these with a bowl of soup. Simple, but really tasty!"

    Not a high class meal, but definitely a nifty idea for something easy and fast! These tasted really better than I imagined. The hot sandwhich tasted great with the melted cheese...mmmmm! Thanks

    These are awesome...my family loved them! I used a shredded cheddar blend and baked Virginia ham. I found they are a little easier to handle if I put the cheese on first and then sort of drop the ham on top of that. I made two batches and they could have eaten more. Thanks for sharing!

    We loved these. They are so light and flaky and the addition of cheese and ham makes them a special treat. We had these with tomato soup. They were almost as easy to put together as the plain rolls are, and I seriously doubt I will ever make them the 'normal' way again. I ran out of chedder cheese after the first 4 rolls, so I sliced up some american cheese, and it worked just fine. Even though my DS has strep throat right now, and can't eat "scratchy" foods, he finished off 3 of these. He dipped them right into his soup. A true winner!
