Ingredients
  

For the Sliders
  • 1 package (12 ounces) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1/2 cup horseradish sauce
  • 3/4 pound sliced deli ham
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese halved
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup butter cubed
  • 2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

  • 9x9-in. baking pan
  • Small skillet

Method
 

  1. Cut the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a greased 9x9-inch baking pan.
  2. Spread the cut side of the roll bottoms with horseradish sauce. Layer with ham and Swiss cheese. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
  3. In a small skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the brown sugar, spicy brown mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Pour this mixture evenly over the rolls.
  5. Cover the baking pan and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the rolls from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking.
  7. Bake the sliders, covered, for 25 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
