❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love these ham and swiss sliders because they are simple to make and the addition of brown sugar with the mustard gives these the best taste. They are wonderful right out of the oven and I can never eat just one. You can buy deli meat, grab some swiss cheese, a few more ingredients and you have a fantastic appetizer.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Sweet Hawaiian rolls or something similar
- Deli Ham
- Swiss Cheese
- Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
- Yellow mustard (Could use honey mustard or spicy mustard)
- Butter
- Onion flakes
- Worcestershire sauce
- Brown sugar
- Poppy seeds (optional)
SWAPS
You could always swap out the meat or the cheese in these sliders. Or make half turkey and cheese and half ham and swiss. I do think the sweetness of the ham is what makes these so good!
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These sliders are so easy to throw together, the hardest part is just getting the ingredients out. You can throw these together in five minutes.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Make your sandwiches by splitting the rolls, spreading with mayo, adding a piece of cheese and ham. Add tops and place in a 9X13 baking dish.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave, add poppy seeds, mustard, onion flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together with wire whisk. Brush the tops of the rolls using all the mixture. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the tops after brushing with butter. Note: I didn’t have any poppy seeds when I remade these for photos, so they are not in the picture and they are optional either way.
Step 3
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for about 5 minutes. Makes 12 sandwiches.
⭐TIP
Hawaiian King Rolls now makes slider buns and so does Pepperidge Farm, which I think makes this much easier than having to split the rolls. I suggest buying those if you can find them.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
If you love sliders, then give these Chili Dog Sliders a try! They are so easy to make and you could easily make those at the same time you make these.
SERVE THIS WITH
If you are making sliders then you will more than likely need other appetizers. We love these Mexican Sausage Balls, Homemade Fried Dill Pickles and Crock Pot Cranberry Smokies.
❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Once you add the butter mixture, you need to bake them immediately so they won’t be soggy.
No, you can easily leave them out.
STORING AND REHEATING
We just store these in tupperware in the fridge and reheat in the microwave, unless we are heating the ALL back up we do it in the oven. 350 for a 5-8 minutes should work.

I have taken these to picnics, there gone in a flash. Except for my vegan friend. I make without meat.
These were DELICIOUS!!!!!’
Hi Could I make these and then keep warm in a Crock pot casserole.We have trail rides and serve lunch and this would be a wonderful thing to serve or could I make them in the crockpot casserole any suggestions.By the way, your blog is my favorite
Hello Sonya, I think you could easily make them up, put them in the crock pot and when you are about 15-20 minutes from eating, turn on the crock pot and let cook on high for 15 or so minutes. I can’t promise it would work, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t. You just want them to heat up and the cheese to melt. Thank you for the kind words, have a wonderful weekend.
Making these tonight for our super bowl get together.
Do you think country ham would be good?
Yes, It would be great!
Does anyone have any suggestions for what pairs well with these yummy-looking sliders?
Potato salad and coleslaw goes great Shayla.also baked beans.
Great idea! I think I’ll try potato salad… I’m hosting a grandparents day luncheon… I think these sliders will be a hit
Better make a lot of them. They never last long anywhere I take them. lol.
I have made these with chopped canned ham and they are delicious! I have frozen them for parties ahead of time, too. I will try them with Hawaiian bread. It looks wonderful!
Has anyone ever frozen these before baking?
I have not tried freezing them before baking but see no reason why you couldn’t Sharon.
I made these for dinner, and my husband and I loved them! What a terrific recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
I have made these and added a piece of pineapple. Very tasty!
Can’t beat them! I don’t know one person that doesn’t love them.
These look great – I just Pinned it !!
Made them for the first time Christmas Eve. They were delicious and you are right, they do heat well in the microwave. Will definitely try adding the mustard next time since my husband is a mustard lover. Love your recipes. Keep them coming.
Oh YUM!!! I will be making these this weekend!! <3
I got this recipe from a teacher at my children’s school 25 years ago! I’ve been making them ever since. My daughter and I have both made them countless times, for parties or just for our men. Everybody goes crazy for them!
Thank you. I have been looking for this. Can’t wait to make it.
I think that your version sounds better than some I have seen out in social media. I will try this.
Thank you Sheila! Hope you enjoy them.
Any suggestions for reheating for a camping trip?
I’m not sure if you have an RV or are tent camping. If you are reheating over campfire, I would put them in a iron skillet and cover with foil. Shouldn’t take much to reheat them.
