my ex mother in law made these for home gatherings and parties.. i changed it up a bit by frying the ham first to add more flavor but u can omit that step...this is an excellent sandwich!

Steps

1

slice canned ham into slices appropriate for a sandwich. (HINT) I make mine about 1/4 inch. I used dabuque brand canned ham.. but u can use deli sliced ham or package sliced ham. but id make sure they were thick enough to fry up. :) u can also use bologna slices..
2

preheat skillet on medium high.. with 2tbl. bacon grease. (HINT) u may sub for butter or a nice flavorful oil. (HINT) if pan gets to hot just lower heat. :)
3

fry ham slices for about 30 seconds to one minute per side. give a nice browning. add bacon grease as needed.
4

set ham aside.
5

preheat oven to 375
6

slice all kaiser rolls in equal halves.. all the way through.
7

butter both sides of the inside part of the buns.
8

then spread mustard on one side or both sides depends on how much u like.. (HINT) u can omit mustard as I did.
9

place 1 slice of cheese per roll half.. (HINT) u can omit cheese, cut down amount of cheese or use any type of cheese u wish. cheddar goes perfect with these as well..
10

place 2-3 slices of ham (more or less depending on ur liking) on half of the rolls.
11

place the other half of rolls on top of the ham cheese side down..
12

wrap each sandwich in a piece of aluminum foil. (HINT) this helps with lots of things.. it keeps the bread protected and keeps the juices in.. :)
13

(HINT) to wrap.. place a sheet of foil large enough to completely wrap sandwich in. place sandwich top side down. fold each corner in overlapping. then place folded side down onto cookie sheet.
14

place sandwiches on a cookie/baking sheet.
15

bake for 10-15 min. or until pipping hot and cheese is melted and gooey.. (HINT) unwrap one to check after 10 min.
16

place still wrapped sanwiches on a serving tray or large bowl.
17

serve hot with toppings of choice. they can now unwrap their hot ham n cheese and assemble with favorite toppings. toppings suggested would be slices of tomato, onion, lettuce, pepper rings, jalpeno rings and pickle slices.. or any other toppings u would like.
18

enjoy! :)
19

serves about 20 large sandwiches.
