Funeral Sandwiches!
These yummy little bundles of goodness got their unusual name, because in the South, when someone dies you can guarantee that some sweet person will show up either at the funeral home or at the families house with a warm pan of these little sandwiches. Actually, the first time I had them, years ago was at the funeral home. Of course, these are also great to serve for parties and other events. They disappear fast! Here is what you will need:
12 Kings Hawaiian Dinner rolls (could substitute another good dinner roll)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
12 slices thinly sliced deli ham (Black Forest or Honey Ham is best)
12 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. poppy seeds
Cut the rolls in half with a serrated knife. Spread each half with mayonnaise. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each roll and cover with the other half. Place in a 9″x13″ baking dish.
In a bowl, combine the butter, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and poppy seeds. Pour over the tops of the sandwiches. Cover the dish with foil. Allow to sit and soak up the sauce on the counter for about 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the baking dish on the center rack and bake for 15 minutes.
