Yummy, and doesn't take too long, either. My mother-in-law had given me the recipe a long time ago, using the tiny rolls. Then recently, my sister-in-law made them at our house using regular dinner rolls. =)
- 12 dinner rolls, already baked.
- 4 rectangle slices of ham, or 12 thin round slices (like Land O' Lakes)
- 8 oz. package of cheese of your choice (I like Provolone)
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 t. mustard
- 1 T. poppy seeds
- 1½ T. minced onion/onion flakes
- 2 t. Worcestershire sauce
-Preheat oven to 350°.
-Melt butter in microwavable bowl.
-Add poppy seeds, minced onion, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
►Or leave the poppy seeds until last and sprinkle on top.
-Using a serrated knife, slice open all the rolls, placing the bottom halves in large pan.
-Thinly (make that butter go far!) spread one-half the mixture on the open bottom half of the rolls, being sure to get the edges.
-With a pizza cutter, cut the ham to fit on the rolls.
If rectangle-shaped ham, you can cut it in half lengthways, then cut each half into thirds. I use 2 layers of ham per roll (so 1 rectangle slice for three rolls). Stack and cut several slices at a time.
If thin round ham, I just kinda fold a third of it over, then bring the side over. It looks kinda like a triangle with a rounded bottom edge.
Not sure what shape/size your cheese will be, so just break it up to fit the rolls. For provolone, I use 1 slice for 2 rolls. I break off top and side to leave enough for 1 roll, then break and fit the edge pieces on the next roll.
-Put on the roll "lids," and spread remaining mixture across rolls.
-Sprinkle on poppy seeds if you did not include them in the butter mixture.
►Cover with tin foil, and bake at 350º for 18-20 minutes.
Some people like to put it all together a day ahead, then bake the day of.
This lets the butter soak in more.
What???
I peel and slice my potatoes, then wash them in the colander. I gently boil them about 25 minutes, until nice and soft, and when I stir them with my spoon, they break apart easily. Drain most of the water, using the colander. Pour all potatoes back into the pot. Put in the butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher. Stir up the bottom "corners" of the pot to get any unmixed potatoes and mash again.
