I got this awesome recipe from (a)musing foodie using something I absolutely love.. Hawaiian Bread! School is out and that means more time outdoors. We enjoy having our meals out on the patio. So when the rain cleared and the sun came out I wanted to make the fam a delicious lunch. This is super easy to make because you prepare it ahead of time. If you can make a sandwich, you can make this Hot Ham n Cheese Sandwich Casserole.
Ingredients
2 24-packs King's Hawaiian Rolls
1 pound shaved Virginia ham
24 slices Swiss cheese
1-1/2 sticks butter
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried onions
2 teaspoons poppy seedsDirections
Slice the King's Hawaiian rolls in half. Line the bottom of two 9X11
baking pans with the bottom halves of the rolls, 24 in each pan (they
should just fit). Spread the ham over the rolls, and then layer
the Swiss cheese on top. Place the other halves of the rolls on top. Set
aside.
In a small sauce pan, combine the butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce,
and dried onions. Over medium heat, stir until the butter has melted to
create the sauce. Pour equal parts of the sauce over top of the rolls,
and then sprinkle the tops with the poppy seeds. Cover the pans tightly
with aluminum foil, and then refrigerate for at least three hours - or
overnight (better).
When You're Ready to Bake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the covered baking dishes in the
oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or
until the cheese has finished melting. Serve warm or at room
temperature. Makes 48 mini sandwiches.
I made a few changes. I divided the recipe in half. (What would we do with all those sandwiches??) And for a couple of them I added some pastrami.. because we had some, and my dad likes pastrami! Next time I'll make his with spicy cheese. If you like hot sandwiches.. (think of Firehouse Subs) but a mini version you can do yourself give this one a try. Soooo yum! Lunch turned out great and we will definitely have this again.
Love, Lana
