CROCKPOT PARTY SANDWICHES

Ingredients:

• 1 package (12 ct) Hawaiian Sweet Bread Rolls
• 1 lb. thinly sliced ham
• 1 (8 oz.) package Sargento Sliced Provolone Cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp. mustard
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder

Directions:

• Line your slow cooker with parchment paper.
• Cut the rolls in half lengthwise to turn them into buns. Place the bottom halves in the slow cooker. Layer the bottom half with ham slices and Sargento^® Sliced Provolone Cheese and place the top half back on.
• In a bowl, mix together the butter, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar and onion powder. Pour sauce over sandwiches, drenching each one.
• Cover and cook on high for 1 to 1.5 hours or until cheese is melted and rolls are hot. You can toast them under the broiler for a minute to get a crispier top. Run a knife between the buns to separate and serve right out of the slow cooker set on warm to keep the sandwiches hot.
• NOTE: You can prep these up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to cook.
