Ingredients

  • 2 Sticks Softened Butter
  • 2 tbsp Poppy seeds
  • 5 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1 Yellow or White Onion Finely Chopped
  • 1 1/2 Pounds Shredded Swiss cheese
  • 3 Pounds Shaved Ham
  • 48 King Hawaiian Butter Rolls 

Instructions

  • Stir together butter,  poppy seeds, yellow mustard, and chopped onion to make the mustard sauce.
  • In a separate bowl mix together ham and swiss. It is easiest to mix with your hands.
  • Remove rolls from the package. Be sure to keep the oven-safe tray the rolls come in.  Keeping rolls together slice rolls in half. The rolls are moist and delicious and make this recipe super yummy and easy!
  • Divide mustard sauce into fourths and spread evenly onto the top side of each of the four rolls (it will be a generous amount).
  • Evenly divide the ham mixture between the four roll bottoms.
  • Wrap the rolls in their tray in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Once wrapped, they can then be frozen or heated right away while wrapped in foil. 
  • Now if you don’t want to heat up your house throw the foil-wrapped buns onto your grill over indirect heat.  Heat them slowly for about 30 minutes.  They only need to be warmed so butter and cheese melt.  
  • They can also be baked at 350 degrees in an oven for about  30 minutes.
  • If you like to be outside at the lake as much as we do, warm them on a campfire lakeside….just keep them away from a direct flame. Place the foil-wrapped buns in a cast iron dutch oven. Turn the buns frequently to keep them from burning.  After about 20 minutes depending on your fire the buns should be warm and gooey!
  • Once heated through and cheese has fully melted remove from the foil. Use a serrated knife to cut apart the sandwiches.

Notes

For large groups, figure about 1½ ham buns per person.  Serve hot! What an easy way to feed a crowd!
