Hot Ham & Cheese Poppy Seed Sliders

(And if you’re Southern…“Funeral Sandwiches”)

For the sake of an easy tailgate or party morning, prep these the night before so you can just pop them in the oven when it’s go-time.

Ingredients:

• 2 packages Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

• 12 slices honey ham (the longer, rectangular size slices)

• 12 slices Swiss cheese

• ⅓ cup mayonnaise

• ⅓ cup miracle whip

For the Poppy Seed Sauce:

• 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds

• 2 tbsp yellow mustard

• 1 tbsp minced onion

• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 cup butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Keeping Sweet Rolls in contact, and use a large knife to slice  in half. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread lightly onto both sides of the inside of the rolls. Put rolls back in white paper "sleeve", leave top off. 
3. Place ham and cheese across the “bottoms” of the rolls (still in the white paper sleeve). Cover rolls with top halves.  Use a sharp knife to cut between/separate rolls (but still leaving them in white packaging).
4. Sit each package of rolls on a large sheet of aluminum foil, securing the foil around paper packaging to keep poppy seed sauce from leaking out.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the poppy seed sauce. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. 
6. Completely cover each set of rolls with foil, place on cookie sheet, and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover the top layer of foil and cook for 2-3 additional minutes or until the tops are slightly brown. Wrap the rolls back up in foil to keep warm during transportation to tailgate. 

*I have used the new Jalapeño Hawaiian Sweet Rolls for these and they added a nice kick of spice! Highly recommend it!
