Funeral Sandwiches
I am always looking for new ways to use leftover ham after the holidays. I make at least one crockpot ham for each holiday and love having leftovers that make future meals so easy to make.
My husband loves these ham and swiss sliders. You can easily make this with a different type of cheese. I tend to stick with swiss cheese since it is such a classic combination.
I have heard them called both ham and cheese sliders and funeral sandwiches. I asked a few of my husband's relatives from Alabama if they had heard of Funeral Sandwiches but they were not sure what I was talking about. Is this a term you have heard used?
Ingredients needed
- Hawaiian Buns
- Ham
- Swiss Cheese
Sauce Ingredients
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Dijon Mustard
- Worcestershire Sauce
The funeral sandwiches need to marinate for at least an hour and can go up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. You can easily make these up hours before you need to serve them!
Recipe Tips
You will often see ham cheese sliders with poppyseed over the top of them. I skip the poppyseed since we have family members who can not eat seeds. If you like poppyseed you can add them over the top before baking.
We also change out the dijon mustard for yellow mustard if we have relatives that can't have seeds just to make sure they don't get any in the dijon mustard.
You can use leftover holiday ham or deli ham it is really up to you. We like it with the thick leftover ham or with thinly sliced deli ham.
You can use sliced or shredded swiss cheese. I tend to use whatever I have in the house.
I like to break up the Hawaiian Rolls before baking so they are easy to serve. You can also cut them in half and keep them connected so the bottoms are separate from the tops and bake them that way.
This is a dish you can adapt to what you love! If you want a ton of cheese go for it, deli ham versus leftover ham go for it! I love that you can adapt this to your favorite flavors and what you have available.
