Pioneer Womans Ham Sliders Recipes

SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Mix the ground beef, heavy cream, Worcestershire and the salt and some pepper in a bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients. Form 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into patties, making 16 patties total. Make an indentation with your thumb to keep the patties from plumping too much when they cook.
• Grill the sliders until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and pile on a platter.
• Toast the halved buns on the grill. Place the sliders between the buns and serve immediately.
• Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
• In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Use a fork to crumble the gorgonzola.
• Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese.

HAM AND CHEESE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Slice attached rolls in half widthwise with a serrated knife, keeping rolls connected, into a bottom and top 'slab.' Place bottom slab in the prepared pan.
• Layer about half the ham evenly over the bottom slab of rolls. Layer Swiss cheese evenly on top, and arrange remaining ham over the cheese. Cover with the top slab.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Add mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Pour butter mixture evenly and slowly over the rolls. Spread over the tops using a spatula; some of the mixture will pool at the base of the rolls. Cover with aluminum foil and let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until browned as desired, 3 to 5 minutes more. Slice into individual sliders.

PIONEER WOMAN'S HAM SLIDERS

Steps:

• Mix the mayonnaise with the Miracle Whip in a small bowl.
• Apply the mayonnaise mixture to the cut sides of each roll.
• Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss on the bottom of each roll and place the other one on top to sandwich them together.
• Wrap the rolls in tin foil and place them in a deep baking dish or on a baking sheet.
• For the poppy seed sauce, stir the poppy seeds with the mustard, butter, onion, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl until combined.
• Pour some of the sauce evenly over all of the sandwiches, and if needed, you can add more.
• Allow the sliders to soak in the sauce for 10 minutes.
• Wrap the sliders in foil and bake them at 350 F for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Uncover the sliders and continue baking them for 1 more minute, or until the tops are slightly brown and crispy.
• Serve hot. You can assemble the sandwiches ahead of time.
• Uncover and continue baking for 1 more minute, or until the tops are slightly brown and crispy.
• Serve hot. You can assemble the sandwiches ahead of time.
• It is best that you don't assemble the sandwiches any more than a day in advance so they don't get soggy from the mayonnaise mixture.
