Funeral Sandwiches

By jsides

These dinner rolls are a great appetizer for a party, or could even be an entire meal on their own.

Ingredients

• SAUCE:
• Dinner rolls
• 24 slices Black Forest Ham (I used Castlewood brand from Sam's, deli ham would be great too)
• 24 slices Swiss Cheese (I used the pre-sliced Tillamook, and cut the slices into smaller squares, then also used the edge pieces, 2 edge slices per sandwich)
• 1 cube butter, melted
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (I used slightly less - they are mostly for aesthetics, I think)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Preparation

Step 1

Slice rolls, if needed. Squeeze 24 rolls on an 11x15 inch sheet pan (it's okay if they are touching). Place one slice of ham (some of my slices were super thin, so I added another half slice with those) and one slice of cheese on the bottom half of each roll, then replace tops.

Mix together with a small whisk. Brush tops of ham and cheese rolls liberally with sauce, then pour remaining sauce over all. Cover pan with foil and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls, covered, for 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.


That made 4 sheet pans of rolls (96 total), with a few plain rolls left over, which was perfect for guests who may not want/like ham and cheese
