Last week we went to an outdoor concert and had a picnic with our friends Sarah and Bryant. I wanted to make some yummy sandwiches.
These hot ham and roast beef sandwiches were warm, melty, cheesy, and the sauce made it! First, get some yummy bread from your local bakery (or Wally-World, which is what I did). I used ciabatta bread for my ham sandwiches and whole wheat subs for my roast beef. Though, mixing and matching is encouraged.
Now for the happy tummy making special sauce. I love honey mustard, and this takes it to a whole new level with a kick of horshradish. The original recipe called for fresh horshradish, but I just used spicy mustard with horshradish in it and it worked out great. I also added more honey mustard than the original recipe because that’s how I roll.
Then slather generously onto both sides of bread.
Then pop them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes!
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it yields a lot and you can freeze the sandwiches for a quick dinner! Last night I threw a couple of the roast beef sandwiches in the oven to pair with some taco soup. This is the perfect meal to feed a crowd at a picnic or to just stockpile for a quick dinner!
Enjoy!
Recipe for Hot Ham and Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches
adapted from here
Serves 12
What you need:
- 12 whole dinner rolls or ciabatta bread or whatever is fresh at the bakery
- 1 pound thinly shaved Roast Beef or Ham (or both)
- 1 pound provolone or swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
- 4 tablespoons honey mustard
- 2 Dashes of Worcestshire
- 1/4 tsp pepper
What to do:
- Slice rolls in half. Mix together mayo, onion flakes, poppy seeds, spicy mustard, honey mustard, and Worcestershire.
- Spread dressing on top and bottom buns. Lay on roast beef or ham, then one or 2 slices of cheese. Wrap each sandwich in a foil square, put them on a baking sheet and bake at 350˚ for 15-20 minutes or until the buns are slightly crusty and the cheese is melted. (If cooking frozen sandwiches, thaw first. If you forget, just cook them for 55 minutes-1 hour on 350˚)
It is well.
