• 1 lb. deli ham, shaved or sliced thin
• 1 lb. Swiss cheese, sliced thin
• 1 1/2 sticks butter
• 1 1/2 tsp. dried mustard
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the dried mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, and poppy seeds.
2. Carefully cut the entire pack of dinner rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Ensure all 12 dinner roll tops remain connected, as do all 12 bottoms.
3. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking pan. Layer with ham, followed by the Swiss cheese. Place the top halves of the rolls over the ham and cheese.
4. Evenly drizzle the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, making sure the onion and poppy seeds are well distributed.
5. Refrigerate the rolls for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
6. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the sliders for 15-20 minutes.
7. Once baked, cut apart the rolls for serving. Enjoy!
