Butter Sauce

Instructions

Oven and Pan Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.

Assemble the Sliders

  1. Slice the rolls horizontally as a single slab without separating individual rolls.
  2. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Evenly layer the ham over the rolls.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the ham.

Prepare the Butter Sauce

  1. In a bowl, combine the melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion, and poppy seeds.
  2. Stir until fully combined.

Finish Assembly

  1. Spoon about two-thirds to three-quarters of the butter sauce evenly over the cheese layer.
  2. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese.
  3. Pour the remaining butter sauce over the tops of the rolls and spread evenly to coat.

Bake

  1. Cover loosely with foil if desired to prevent over-browning.
  2. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until heated through and the tops are lightly golden.
  3. Monitor closely during the final minutes, as the rolls can brown quick
