Ham and Cheese Sliders


12 good white dinner rolls/slider rolls
12 pieces good honey ham
12 small slices provolone cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip

1 T poppyseeds
1 1/2 T yellow mustard
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 T minced onion
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

Whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes. Serve warm.
