Tuna Salad Sandwich

My grandparents were coming for lunch. What do you make for them? Tuna Tuna Tuna. Old people love it. I found this recipe and it looked different from the usual "mayo, pickle, tuna" recipe. For a tuna sandwich, this one is pretty good :)

Ham & Cheese Sliders

A few friends and I threw a fun baby shower for my friend last weekend. For the next few posts, I'll be adding the food dishes we had at the shower.


The theme for the baby shower was "about to pop" so we used this recipe because it went with the whole "pop" theme from the poppy seeds. I'll say that originally I didn't think these sandwiches looked super delicious or anything special. I was happy at how wrong I was! They were really good and we had a lot of compliments on them. So, make these little sandwiches for your next birthday party or baby shower. Trust me. Everyone will love them :)


I'll add that the picture above is not the sandwiches I made. Sadly, I forgot to get a picture. :( The ones we made were on buns that were a little bit larger and they looked awesome.

Recipe:
24 good white rolls
24 pieces good honey ham (we used 2 slices of thinly sliced ham per roll)
24 small slices swiss cheese or 12 slices, cut in half. (we used the pre-sliced kind)
1/3 mayo
1/3 cup miracle whip




{poppy seed sauce}


1 1/2 TBSP poppy seeds
1 1/2 TBSP yellow mustard
1 stick butter, melted
1 TBSP minced onion
1/2 tsp. worschestershire sauce


In a small bowl, mix together mayo & miracle whip. Spread into both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham & a slice of swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls & place into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.


In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. Let sit 10 minutes, or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil & bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover & cook for 2 additional minutes. serve warm.
