This ham and cheese slider recipe is divine! It is a simple recipe, it’s easy to make, it can be prepared and frozen for later use, and it tastes really good! You can even make them healthier by using homemade wheat rolls.
What I also like about this recipe is that it can serve a lot of people for either a lunch or dinner, like the rest of these 20 Meals That Feed a Large Group. It’s a great one to have in these tasty little sandwiches in your back pocket for your next gathering.

These look so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I like the trend of mini freezer items, I’ve seen other recipes for mini chicken pot pies and also cinnamon rolls. All are huge hits with my kids.

So if I was making these for him to take to work think they would be okay to bake and then freeze?
I haven’t tried that, but I think it would probably work.
HOW MUCH HAM AND HOW MUCH CHEESE?
Thanks for the question, Summer. I just updated the recipe!

What would you serve as a side? Thanks in advance.
Ideas of simple sides: veggies and chips with dip (try Creamy Avocado Dip on our site), fresh fruit salad, Greek Garden salad, Oven Roasted Broccoli. Here are more side ideas on our site:

You said in your post that the lunches were good for microwaving, but I only see instructions for baking. Are these meals microwavable? They all look delicious and I know my hubby would enjoy them, but his lunches have to be microwaved at work.
Well most of the lunches would be cooked ahead of time and then warmed in the microwave.
Of course! Lol thank you!
We have made these several times and they can be reheated in the microwave, but not prepared in the microwave.

Do you think I could make groups of 4 in a foil packet, wrap tight and freeze in a big Ziploc, then thaw and bake all in the same foil? It’s just my husband and myself so I need smaller portions.
Hi there!
Have you ever substituted sesame seeds for the poppy seeds?
Ooo, no, but that sounds like a fantastic idea.
