"TO-DIE-FOR" SLIDERS

By

Better known as "Funeral Sandwiches!" These sandwiches are often served to family members after the funeral of their loved ones. Showering the family of the recently deceased with food gifts is a Southern tradition that dates back to as early as 1779.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (12 ct) of King's Hawaiian Rolls
  • 1/2-1 lb. ham deli meat (I used turkey)
  • Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
  • Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbs Dijon mustard
  • 4 Tbs brown sugar
  • dash of onion powder (if you like)

Preparation

Step 1

Cut each roll in half, lengthwise and place bottom halves on the bottom of a baking pan. Spread a thin coat of mayonnaise on the top and bottom halves.

Layer bottom half with ham slices and cheese and place the top half back on.

In a bowl, mix together the butter, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar and onion powder. Pour sauce over sandwiches, drenching each one. Cover tightly and marinade anywhere from 4-24 hours. Overnight works best!

Preheat oven to 350°. Bake for 15 minutes uncovered, or until cheese is melted and bun tops are a bit golden.
