Hot Ham Sandwiches

We love these hot ham sandwiches.  They are easy to prepare ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when ready.  You can make a half recipe in a square baking pan or a full recipe in a 9 X 13 pan.  I made six half size pans of these rolls at our last freezer cooking party and my friends loved having a pan to take home.  You can make ahead and freeze them.  Just thaw in the fridge before baking.  

I first tried these when visiting with relatives and had to have the recipe.  Thanks for sharing Glenda.  This recipe makes a 13 X 9 pan of small sandwiches so I usually save it for entertaining (It makes too much for us) or make a half recipe. I buy ham in bulk and freeze it to save money and I love the convenience of always having ham in the freezer when I need it for a recipe.  This is easy to take to potlucks and kids love them too so it works well for play-dates and birthday parties.  

Ingredients:  
2 pkg. Hawaiian Rolls
1 lb. Sliced ham
1/2 to 1 lb. provolone cheese (I just use an 8 oz. package)
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp. dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. fresh minced onion

Slice each pkg. of Hawaiian rolls in half so that you have a big top sheet and bottom sheet of rolls.

Spray a 9 X 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Put the bottom layer of rolls in the pan.

Layer the ham on top of the rolls.  I sometimes chop the ham to make the finished ham sandwiches easier to cut apart.  

Put a layer of provolone cheese on top of the ham.

Put the 2nd layer of rolls on top.

Mix the melted butter with the worcestershire sauce and dijon mustard and pour over the top of the sandwiches.  Sprinkle with the minced onion.  

You let them sit for awhile covered in the fridge or even overnight before baking, but I have made them right before baking and thought they were just as good.  

Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees, removing the foil half-way through.  Be careful not to burn the tops of the rolls by checking them frequently after removing the foil.
