The Best Ham Sandwiches Ever

Recipe #358553 | 30 min | 15 min prep | add private note

This recipe was given to me by my mom and I made them the first time for a football party. Everyone liked them so much that I ended up making more that day. Now they are what I have to take everywhere. They are wonderful, easy to make, and are loved by everyone. You can't go wrong!

SERVES 8 -12 , 24 small sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2-12 packages of sweet hawaiian rolls (the small dinner roll looking ones)
  • 2 lbs of virginia ham (NOT honey ham)
  • 12 slices swiss cheese
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried onions
  • poppy seed

Directions

  1. 1
    You will need two 9 x 13 pans. Place the bottoms of 12 rolls in each pan. Place ham (about 2 shaved slices or so) on the rolls. Cut the cheese slices into 4 parts and place 2 small pieces on each sandwich. Put the dinner roll tops on. In a sauce pan, mix butter, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, and dried onions. Wait until all butter is melted and then pour the melted mixture over the ham sandwiches (I know it sounds weird but TRUST me). Sprinkle the buns with poppy seeds and cover with foil. Let refrigerate overnight (If not able to wait, it is okay. They still taste great if made right away). Preheat oven to 350 and uncover sandwiches. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes and serve. They are great hot and even at room temperature Enjoy!
  2. 2
    *I have made these with turkey also and they are good. Not as great as the ham, but they are good.

Hubby & kids loved. I liked the flavor, but I didn't care for the butter making them greasy feeling as you were eating it. The bread soaks up the butter making it crunchy but very greasy.

    These were tasty, but greasy. I also can not see how in the world you could use 2 lbs of ham on these? One pound piled them high! I'm sorry that I had bought $12.00 worth of ham, that I did not need.

    A girlfriend made these for lunch one day and all 10 of us thought they were a hit! It was funny b/c she's dim in the kitchen, but she sure pulled this one off! Way to go Kate!
