It’s not a secret that I am not from Indiana, but I can’t help to be catching basketball fever. Not that I needed much coaxing, but I did need some coaching to pull for an Indiana team. As it has been said, “Welcome to Indiana basketball.” Can you name that movie??? We are definitely pulling for Butler over UCONN in the NCAA championship game at our house. And we are definitely going to be eating well while we watch!
To fully enjoy good basketball, good food is in order. Last week, I had some great people link up some tasty recipes that I am highly recommending for game night.
Jill over at Boys, Bovines, and Blessings has a fantastic Pepsi Pork Chop recipe. I managed to pull this off for a post soccer game this weekend by setting the crock pot on high and cooking for four hours. I added some mashed potatoes to the plate, and the kids were scraping their plates clean.
Ethne over at WOM:MOM made a “can eat in one sitting” ham dip that is also a must make. It is a five ingredient or less recipe which always means keeper. I added 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to her recipe. Mainly because I am a little obsessed with the stuff.
And finally, anyone who loves jalapeño poppers has to try Desi’s, from Steak N Potatoes Kinda Girl, poppers. My husband is going to be excited to be seeing these come out of the oven tomorrow night!
Now, many of you have seen my freezer ham sammies, and do I have the slider version for you this week at Hunk of Meat Monday.
Start by chopping or grating an onion. I use the Pampered Chef food chopper
Melt a stick of butter and then add the onions.
Add three tablespoons of Dijon mustard to the onions and butter, stir together.
Then pour in two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce.
Finally, add three teaspoons of poppy seeds and simmer until onions are soft.
Grab a package of Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls and cut the entire package in half length wise as one large piece.
Place the roll bottoms in a aluminum foil lined 13 by 9 pan. Spread the onion mixture on the entire bottom. You will want to save about 1/4 of the mixture back.
Grab some shaved hams, about a half a pound, and seven to eight slices of swiss cheese. Put the ham on top of the onions and then add the slices of cheese.
Add the roll tops after the cheese.
If you have any onion mixture left, spread it over top of the rolls.
Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until ready to use. Bake on 350 degrees for 20 minutes, covered with foil.
When you remove from the oven, slice down the roll lines.
Do you not like mustard? Or want to make these sandwiches with turkey or chicken? Check out these chicken sammies on Hawaiian rolls with onions and peppers.

YUM! Wish we lived closer so we could come to your house and watch the game! GO DAWGS!
This looks like the perfect thing to add to my spring/fall planting/harvest repetoire meal menu! I know a dozen hungry guys who would love this!
Oh that melted cheese! That sandwich looks delicious! Perfect for a party for sure:)
I could have never thought of this on my own. Looks delicious too! Thanks for sharing.
Good Morning Leah,
Those little sandwiches look so yummy and a great dish for entertaining. Thank you for hosting and have a great week!
I love your recipes. They are REAL things I can cook. lol The sandwiches look great and thanks for the links.
Mmmh, I always loved that Hawaiian bread…but I guess I will either have to figure out how to make it myself or just go without until we finally move back to the US. These sammies look really tasty though!
YUMMMM. My aunt makes something very similar but I'd never gotten the recipe. Definitely bookmarking this one!
These are so good! I'm always amazed that just a few simple ingredients can make some of the tastiest things!
We love these sandwiches at our house, too. Aren't they the best! Now I'm craving them!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe in this week's Mingle Monday!
I make a similar sandwich to yours, and they are divine! Only difference is that my recipe uses dijon mustard instead of worcestershire sauce. So quick, so tasty!
They look delish. I love anything with melted cheese.
They look so good everyone loves a toastie
Wow. I've never seen a casserole sandwich before. Looks excellent!
Oh yes, I know this recipe very, very well. I even blogged about it not too long ago. These little sandwiches are always a hit!
ButterYum
These are indeed game time favorite, looks dleicious. Thanks for sharing with Hearth and Soul blog hop.
Thanks so much for the feature! I hope you and your hubby enjoy those poppers
I linked up Katie Lee's Logan County Burgers!
Those sandwiches look awesome. My mother made one that was similar when I was a kid and I haven't thought about it in years.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your recipe with us
Are the poppy seeds that necessary or could I leave them out?
Just stopped by to tell you that I made your Sammies for supper tonight and my family LOVED them! Sweet and tangy…they were the perfect sandwich! Thank you for sharing!!!
How far in advance do you think i can make and refrigerate? If i assemble them ob a thursday night and cook them satrday morning you think they will be okay, or do i need to wait til friday?
Poppy seeds are not necessary. I think they would be just fine without them.
And I think if you make them two days in advance, they will be just fine. Actually, maybe even better because the flavors will have soaked in! May need to bake a few minutes longer, but go for it!
These look SSOOOOOO good!! I will have to try them this weekend! Also,Pampered Chef has a newer product called the manual food processor that is even faster and more fun to use!! http://www.pamperedchef.biz/melissascuisine
Made these last week, and my husband and I loved them! He ate them for lunch AND dinner! Thanks for the recipe.
These look so good!
Everyone LOVED these! YUM! They went over bigger than what I anticipated – Thanks
if you aren't in the states google hawaiian rolls for the bread machine..I used those! Very darn good..thanks for the recipe!
An easy and delicious treat!
just posted this on my Ag blog http://www.homeontherangeexchange.blogspot.com. Thanks for this recipe it was great!
Hi! These look so delicious and I would love to try them! Do you know of an alternative to the mustard in the recipe? I'm unfortunately allergic.
I made this recipe recently and my family LOVED it so much. I'm trying it today with leftover turkey. I'm sure it will still work great. I can't get enough of these little sandwiches.
Thanks so much for sharing such a delicious recipe.
I just wanted to tell you that I found you through Pinterest earlier this week, and I made these sammis tonight for my fiance and I, and WE LOVE THEM!!! such an awesome quick meal after a long day or a lazy weekend! Thanks so much for sharing
These are awesome! Has anyone tried freezing them?
I just made these and then they made my day. So ridiculously easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Found these on pinterest. Made them for new years eve. Amazing!!
These were so good! Thanks for the recipe! I loved it so much I wanted to put it on my blog so I linked back to your page from my blog post… http://sphelps115.blogspot.com/p/yummy-to-my-tummy.html
These look yummy! Will have to try, although I may wait for a day that I'm cooking for more than two.
Made them for supper tonight. Yummy! My family loved them.
I made these for a lazy Sunday lunch today and was a little disappointed considering all the positive posts above. The flavors were far too strong even though we all like the ingredients separately.
My mother-in-law has been making these since I met her! One of my favorite things she makes. She has always called them "sliders" I don't care what they are called- the're flippin' good! If you're looking for something new to try, I totally suggest making them!
I've seen several variations on this recipe, and I'm trying your's this weekend. Linked it on my blog at http://www.momtomanygirls.com. Can't wait!!
I felt the same way, it was a little disappointing.
Just made these and that are GREAT!
I wanted you to know that I copied your recipe for the ham and cheese hawaian rolls into my recipe box here:
http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/tracy-joyner/game-day-ham-cheese/meat-appetizer
I shamefully used your photos as well…but I clearly gave you the credit in my comments and provided a link back to your page.
Okay I don't know why the others thought this was disappointing. I just made these and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Oh my gosh it was soo good. Maybe they didn't use a good mustard? I used mustard that I sampled at Trader Joes. Wow, great recipe… Bravo..
You should use the Hawaiin rolls that come in a 4 pack! Perfect for just 2 people!
did not like this at all. will not be making it again.
I just made this for the hungry boys in my house and we LOVED it!!! Will definately be making this again. Yummo!
wonder if these would be good with provolone or a different cheese?
I really love this recipe, although I had a hard time making it healthy without sacrificing taste. The only thing I changed though was I used Dijon Mustard with Chardonnay (yum!!), deli turkey and a round hawaiian loaf, which actually turned out great because it came with it's own disposable pan! Will TOTALLY try this again! Thanks!
Don't like onions.. what else can be used?
My friend made these for Superbowl…. AMAZING and the next day….. STUPENDOUS!
pllbbbth
Pinned these to my pinterest account a few weeks back. Made them today for family. they were a hit we ate the whole thing. thank you!
those look amazing!! i can't wait to try them. fyi–be careful of the surface you use for your food chopper. you want a cutting board that will show knife/cut marks otherwise, you may dull the blades! =)
Can't stop making these! I swear that I have made these at least 5 times since I pinned them. Yummy!!
i found your blog via pinterest. i'm now making these for the 2nd time in a week. i've made a lot of recipes over the last year that i've "pinned" but my hubby and kids say this one is the BEST!
Found these on Pinterest, and they are currently in the oven…they smell HEAVENLY! And they were super fast to make too. Love my Pampered Chef chopper as well!
Thank you!
Hi Leah, I found this recipe on Pinterest. I have made these sandwiches twice now. This is a new favorite at our house! I followed your recipe except I didn’t use the poppyseeds. Thank you so much for sharing! There are amazing!!
Check this out………….http://www.thatswhatbobscooking.com/2011/12/black-friday-breakfast-sandwiches.html
I have made the Poppyseed and ham and cheese sandwiches two times, plus I have a pan in the refrigerator waiting for my family to arrive from Maryland !!! They are to die for !! Thanks
I’m reading this post basketball season… however, I think with these treats, you would make a great Hoosier!
These look and sound SO good. I’d use provolone, probably. I’ll bet they freeze well … easy make-ahead dish for parties or the holidays.
I bet they would be great for camping as well. Make ahead, keep in the foil warm up, tada lunch!
Found on Pinterest!
I know I’m the lucky millionth person to say this, but these were FABULOUS and the whole family swooned over them (even my picky 7 year old!) Thank you for a keeper!!
Will these be ok if I make them the night before?
No such thing as Hawiian rolls where I live, would Irish potato rolls be similar?
I saw this recipe on Food network last week. Homemade in America. Some lady in Oklahoma is making a lot of money selling these.
Oh my gosh… this looks like HEAVEN… will be doing this for Christmas Day! Thanks for Sharing
I’m one of the few that did not like them either. Disappointed, but thank you for sharing. Husband did not like them either, and we are not picky eaters.
Hi, I’m just breaking in to the cooking and blogging world and wanted to let you know I tried your recipe. My husband and I loved it, and I posted about it on Nermal & Friends (http://nermalandfriends.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-first-5-out-of-5.html).
Thanks for the recipe!

I love this recipe and these sandwiches are SO good, but I have a problem with the onion/butter mixture not getting anywhere close to as smooth as yours. I used Grey Poupon from the fridge, but I’ve also tried it at room temperature, and the mustard NEVER mixes fully with the butter/onions. What kind of butter and mustard do you use?
I’ve made these four times since finding your recipe and they’re always a hit. And I’ve recently become obsessed with these Hawaiian rolls so I used them for pretty much any hot sandwich I make now. Thanks for the recipe!
I am so happy I found this recipe. It is a total favorite with everyone around here. My son does not like onions but it still works. I just cut the sauce recipe in 3rds and he gets his without the onions. So everyone is happy. Yay!!!!!
I am going to be making 150 of these for a wedding, and was wondering if making them the night before and putting in refrigerator overnight if they would get soggy?
