I love quick and easy weeknight meals, especially when they taste like you’ve been slaving in the kitchen for hours, creating a fusion of delicious flavors that’s nothing short of a masterpiece. Extra points are awarded if I can get the entire family to eat it, which is what happened when I whipped up these Ham and Cheese Sliders from TK member Lindsay.
The secret is in the special sauce that’s drizzled on top, then the little nuggets of gold are baked until they are gooey and caramelized. Trust me, these babies are good and your whole family will thank you for making them.
You’ll need: Hawaiian rolls, deli ham, sliced provolone cheese, butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds. Sounds good already, doesn’t it?
Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil. Arrange your sliced rolls on the baking sheet.
Place a slice of ham on each roll.
Followed by a slice of your cheese.
In a small bowl combine the butter …
The brown sugar …
The mustard …
And the Worcestershire sauce.
Microwave until the butter is just melted, about 30-60 seconds.
Add the poppy seeds and stir until combined.
Place the top half of the roll on top to assemble your sandwich.
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the sandwiches.
Just use your own judgement on how much to use. I used all of my sauce.
Bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and the butter mixture starts to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!

I have been putting together a few easy recipes for the coming holidays. This year we are off in our new but small camper van, I tried out your great sandwiches with ham, a blend of white and red cheeses that melt into a nice thin mix like they use in the best burger bars and pepper n tomatoes coursly chopped.

I’m making these again tonight–this’ll be the third time! I also tried a “Philly Cheese Steak” version, which was fantastic; I modified the sauce with less sugar and more Worcestershire and mustard, and added sauteed green peppers. I’m sure I’ll think of more variations. What I particularly appreciated this time of year is that even though I have to use the oven, it’s only for a few minutes–not long enough to overheat the kitchen!

It is really delicious, I especially cook it for my Mom when she visits me.

These are amazing! I made a full sized version (with a hamburger bun and cut the sauce recipe in half) on my lunch break. Perfect!

First, I LOVE your measuring spoons…can you share where I can get some? Second, I will be making these this week. I had seen a very similar recipe recently (although your sauce will put it over the top) that also had carmelized onions in the bun with the ham and cheese. Another thing that was a good idea was to use the whole package of the King Hawaian buns but to keep them together (just lift the entire top off the whole package) and bake them, THEN split them into individual sliders. I bet that would help keep all your delicious sauce on the buns!

I’m in love with your measuring spoons! Also, these sliders look so incredibly easy. Good outdoor brunch to have.

Nice to see this recipe making the rounds again. I made it for my daughter’s christening 20 years ago, and the recipe had been around for awhile back then. It’s a real crowd pleaser, and especially nice because it can be made ahead.
Thanks!!! on 6.8.2013
Thanks! Maybe an old recipe to others, but its new to me and its a keeper! These were great and I guess for those of us who aren’t “chefs” and for some who are, any recipe may be new. Thanks for the recipe. These were a hit and I will serve them again!:)

I made these shortly after Midwest Living printed the recipe in their magazine. They were a hit at our card club! The sauce on top of the buns is fantastic.

At a ‘girl’s’ week-end for my college roommates, one of the girls made these for our lunch.What a hit!!! Delicious and very nice looking when served.
