Tailgate Slow Cooker Sandwiches

I love that these tailgate slow cooker sandwiches can be assembled the night before and popped into the slow cooker before you head out.

Slow Cooker Sandwiches

These make-ahead, baked ham and cheese sliders are delicious perfect for any gathering. You may want to make a double batch!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 ½-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
• 24 King's Hawaiian rolls, or if gluten free try Schar’s Ciabatta Rolls
• 1 pound thinly sliced cooked deli ham
• 1 pound thinly sliced Swiss cheese,Gruyère, Provolone, Munster or Cheddar

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds. Separate the tops from bottoms of the rolls, and place the bottom pieces a piece of parchment or foil. Layer about half the cheese onto the rolls. Arrange the ham over the cheese, and top with the remaining cheese slices in a layer. Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches. Brush the mustard mixture evenly over the rolls.
2. If making multiple layers, repeat the process and add a piece of foil or parchment between each layer.
3. Pick up the foil and place the sandwiches into the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning your insert halfway through if your slow cooker doesn't cook evenly.
4. If desired and your insert is broiler safe, place your rolls on the lower rack in your oven with your broiler on high for 30-60 seconds to crisp up the tops. (Watch continually and do not walk away. You can go from perfection to burnt very quickly in a broiler.)
5. Cut the sliders apart and serve
6. Slice into individual sandwiches

Notes

Make-ahead: make this up the day before, covering with foil and refrigerating overnight. When ready, bake at 350 for 25 minutes with foil on, then uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Oven cooking method: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted about 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for 5 more minutes

To make gluten-free, use gluten-free rolls. Try Schar's Ciabatta store-bought rolls.
