My son hates mustard but couldn't taste the little bit of mustard in the sauce. I don't know about you but sometimes I just want to cook something that I know my kids will eat without complaining about it. This definitely would qualify for a "No Cooking" Friday meal because it's so easy.
I made these right after Easter and used my leftover ham...sorry I didn't post it sooner so you could use your leftover ham too! These are great as an appetizer or make it a meal.
Ham and Cheese Sliders
adapted slightly from the Recipe Club
24 good white dinner rolls
24 pieces good honey ham24 small slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip
Poppy seed sauce (you probably could half this...I had plenty extra)
1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Tablespoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.
** sandwiches can be assembled a day ahead and kept in the fridge ready to bake.
I need to bookmark this. I have a ham in the freezer and these would be perfect.
Ooh I have made (& blogged) these before! They are really good. Your photo looks great of them!
OMG...those look so good...never thoiught of using dinner rolls for sliders....pure genius!!
I make these for gatherings all the time and they are devoured. I use those Hawaiian King rolls. Oh so good.
My mom makes these! This recipe is so nostalgic! :) Thanks for posting.
These look delicious!
I definitely love this! The poppyseed sauce really does give it that extra special quality!
Oh whoa. These little sandwiches look AMAZING!! I must make these. Thanks for sharing!
Those look so good!! I made pot-roast for dinner tonight (flop) I hate that stuff, why do I always make it? So I saw these burgers and my mouth watered! I may try to make them... anyway here is the link in case you were interested!

She said it was a Rachel Ray original.
Fantastic. We tried them tonight, making no changes except, in absence of poppy seeds, I used dried oregano and a healthy dose of coarse ground pepper before popping them in the oven. Wonderful!
Thanks for the great recipe. :)
These look really wonderful!!
I make these and put in the freezer. Kids can reheat for a snack after school.
I made these for the 2nd time last night, and my entire family told me that I could make these at least once a week, and they would not tire of them! Thanks for sharing this winner recipe!
@Amy K,
Yes. I love these too. They are so simple but so good...
I made these for a baby shower and everyone loved them!! These are my husbands favorite. Thanks so much, I love your blog.
I made these last night for dinner, they were great! I altered the recipe a little. I used Hawaiian Rolls, and in the sauce I used 1/2 stick butter, dried minced onion, no poppy seeds and baked covered for 10mins then uncovered for 4mins. They came out a little crunchy on the outside and nice and gooey on the inside. GOOD GOOD GOOD!
These were beyond delicious. So simple and soooooo good! Thanks!
Wow! This looks so delish! I want to have a bite right now! I can't even wait!
Just made these for my son's second birthday party, and they were a HUGE hit! THanks for the recipe!
Just was thinking about this recipe the other day - it was something that my mother made and we all enjoyed. Slight variation though - I was surprised - (read that as stunned) - to see that the recipe through the years I guess had morphed- When we ate these at home back in the 60's - both sides of the rolls were spread with the butter mixture - the sliders - which that term only existed in baseball I think back then - and then wrapped in a foil package and baked - that allowed us to pick the small sandwich up and eat with our hands - can not imagine putting the butter mixture on the top - Glad to find the recipe - not one that I have in my recipe box and I never think to look for it when I go home. Thanks
These are so DELISH!!! I looked at the picture and my mouth watered (as it often does when I look at your blog)then my friend made them for our bunco night and let me just say...OH MY GOODNESS!!! thanks for posting :)
These look amazing. I never thought ham & cheese could look this good. Great work. Great recipe. I found your picture over at pintrest.com and clicked over to see that it was you! I'm a big fan of your blog. Keep it up.
Someone brought these ham and cheese yummies to a Bible study a while back, and since then I've been wanting to make them. After finding your blog on Pinterest, I've decided to make them for dinner tonight. Thanks for reminding me of such a great and easy dinner idea! I'll reference you when I blog about them. :)
Have a great day!
I think I'm going to make these for our small group this week! They sound so good!
Hi I'm your newest follower. I found your site when I saw this picture for Ham and Cheese Sliders on Pinterest. I made them tonight for supper and Oh My Goodness... These are delicious. Thanks for sharing. :)
Hi just found these on Pinterest...they look yummy but can you tell a simple Scottish girl what Miracle Whip is please:) x
@kirsti,
Haha! Of Course! Miracle Whip is just a sweet mayonnaise. You could definitely just use regular mayonnaise and that should work just fine!
I've had these with the ham minced before, too - and you can freeze them! Then you can just pop them out and warm in the oven (wrapped in foil) for quick snacks or appetizers.
Hello! I saw this on someone's sidebar and had to come here to see more of this. Man, THESE LOOK SOOOOO GOOD! You did a great job with the photo, I want to bite the screen. :)
I copied the recipe to try these one day. Thanks for sharing!!! YUM! :)
Best,
Gloria
I just found this post via Pinterest and wanted to share - I make this exact same recipe EXCEPT I leave them open face to serve as an appetizer at tailgates, etc. Just another way to serve them for less of a meal and more of an entertaining snack. Everyone always raves about them! Your picture is gorgeous!
These look so good! My husband just took a ham out of the freezer!! I just need to get some rolls and I'm sure we will all be enjoying these :)
I have tried a version of these before and they are yummy! Great pic!
oh and I am your newest follower!! :)
Found this on Pinterest. Made today (left out the minced onion). Everyone is still talking about them! So delish!
My grandma made these sandwiches. No mayo, just the mustard mix. We put the mustard on the buns then individually wrapped them in foil. If you didn't want to cook them right away we froze them. Then we could bake them and havethem whenever we wanted!
Hey there! Well, I'm mostly here to repeat what everyone else is saying...
1.) I found this on Pinterest.
2.) They sound delicious & I can't wait to try them.
3.) Your photo is mouth-watering.
4.) I'm your newest follower.
Yep, that about sums it up!! Really, though, THANK YOU for sharing. I am totally making these for dinner one night, and the leftovers (I'll have to hide them,) will go into the kids lunchboxes the next day....which will then be posted on my blog with my weekly lunchbox round up, and I'll link the pic back to you for folks to grab the recipe.
Thanks again for sharing & have a great day! :)

I found this on pinterest, I made it tonight, it was delicious and I got to send all my guests home with lunch for the next day! I served it with macaroni and cheese and green beans with apple cobbler and icec cream. Thanks!
That is a fantastic looking sandwich and I want to eat some now! The poppyseed sauce sounds sooo good....I'm going to make some this weekend!! Thanks for the recipe :)
wow…what an amazing sandwich! I've shared it here: http://dollarstoremom.com/2011/10/pinterest-picks-the-im-hungry-edition/
Did you use prepared mustard or dry? I just made these for tonight's party but haven't baked them yet. I used prepared mustard, I found it difficult to get the butter and the mustard to mix. So when I poured out the seed glaze, the butter was floating and the mustard was sinking. I just let the butter drizzle on a pass and then the mustard and sinking poppy seed. The poppy seeds seemed to clump, but a quick pass with a silicone baster evened them out nicely!!! Looking forward to trying this tonight!!! Thanks for the recipe :)
@Anonymous,
Yes, use prepared mustard. If you whisk the butter and mustard together it should combine. My poppy seeds kind of clumped too but it all works out. Hope it works out for you!
These look fabulous. Thank you for sharing.
I don't know what I did wrong, but they taste like a regular ham and cheese sandwich. Also, my top roll was soggy and it was too many poppy seeds. I thought the sliders would taste buttery and be crispy, but they wern't at all and I followed the directions 100%. Does it matter what rolls we use? I used the Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. The bottom crisped up but the top was soft/soggy.
@Alisa,
The top roll should definitely not be soggy. You should uncover them and cook them unti the tops are slightly brown an crispy. It shouldn't matter what rolls you use. Did you place them on a bottom rack of your oven? That's the only reason I can think why the bottoms were crispy and the top were not. Sorry they didn't turn out!
Yummy!! I posted a link to this on my blog @ http://thecraftbarn-ny.blogspot.com/2011/12/tasty-tuesday-12611plus-2-cooking-book.html .
Thanks,
Jennifer @ The Craft Barn
Hi! These look so good, but do you think subbing sliced smoked turkey would still taste good? My kids aren't ham fans, so what do you think?
I definitely think you could sub turkey if your kids aren't fans of ham.
Maybe I did something wrong but these were VERY soggy on the bottom. It was unpleasant eating them.
@awilson,
I'm sorry! I think the problem is that you do NOT have to use all of the sauce. Just use enough to cover the tops. That's the only reason why I can see these would be soggy. I've changed the directions to state that more clearly. So sorry!
Pinterest girl here too! :) LOVED them. They received rave reviews - even from a picky eater. (Her only complaint was the mayo. Really?!) The sauce was definitely worth a post on ham and cheese sandwiches!
Pinned your recipe...it was really yummy and there are SO many options to change it up. Thanks for sharing. Hope your weekend is great! Smiles~Beth
I know why they call these sliders. The first time you take a bite, the ham and cheese slides out of the roll. Think it's because the miracle whip/mayo mixture is on both sides. Next time gonna use a very thin layer of mayo on one side and brush the mustard/butter mixture on the other.
I've had this recipe pinned on Pinterest for awhile waiting until I had leftover ham. I made these tonight for dinner and they were a hit! Even my 5-year-old son loved them. There are a few leftover sandwiches that I'll be enjoying for lunch tomorrow.
Mmmmm, this looks sooo good!
I made these tonight for a mom's meeting at church. Except I used turkey and monterey cheese because that's what I had on hand. They were delicious!
just tried these on a sunday afternoon with bloody mary's! omg! yummy! thank you so much!
What would you make to go along with these? I've always had them at get togethers as a finger food...and I'm dying to make them for my hubby :)
@brittyyybird,
They are a great finger food but when we have them I always try to have a green side like broccoli or salad to make the meal a little more nutritional. -Christy
I use the dinner rolls for making mini-burgers, the family loves them. I grill onions and add cheese, then everyone uses their own condiments, delish! I am making the ham sliders right now, can't wait to taste!!
I make these all the time now. They are requested at any party I go to. I don't change a thing but I do use those sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls. They are to die for! Thanks for sharing this! :)
Made these tonight with whole wheat rolls and they were delish! I didn't cover them and just put them in the oven (top rack) and cooked them for 5 minutes. They were perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside! Thanks for the recipe!!!
I made these a couple weeks ago and they were awesome! Super easy too. Thanks for the recipe!
My family has made these every year for Christmas eve since i can remember only without the mayonnaise! They are the best!!!
These are amazing!!! Turns a simple sandwich into something extraordinary! :) I didn't have poppyseeds, so I substituted dried oregano and it was delish!!
I am back to make these sliders AGAIN! People keep asking me to make them! They are the perfect thing to bring to a cookout- they are gone is minutes. I wanted to say thanks!
@Unknown, You are welcome! I just made them too. Love 'em...
We love these at our house but I use Hawaiian king rolls ! I have to stop myself from eating to many! Thank you for sharing .
I am way too over-the-top excited about this recipe. I used to make these way back in the 80's and lost the recipe. I'm always telling people about these things but they have no clue what I'm talking about. Can not wait to make a ton and show them what the fuss is about!
This is probably a dumb question, but are the rolls uncooked or already baked?
@Ashley W,
Not a dumb question...use already baked ones. I get mine from fresh from my bakery.
