I made these for game day a few years ago and they were such a hit! These are the perfect way to feed a big family or crowd with minimal effort. What I love about them is that you are basically just prepping 1 giant sandwich while being able to feed up to 12 people! You can even use leftovers from this Slow Cooker Ham. Also, if you are fond of ham, you should definitely try my Ham Pasta Salad (One Bowl).

Key ingredients
- Rolls- I like to use Hawaiian rolls because they are slightly sweet and compliment the other savory flavors perfectly.
- Garlic butter- I like to make this at home and also mix in some poppy seeds but you can buy garlic butter from the grocery store too.
- Ham- These need to thinly sliced.
- Cheese- Swiss cheese tastes the best here. It should also be thinly sliced.
- Pickles- Cut them into small round shapes.
Variations
- Turn these into sandwiches- Use bread slices instead of buns.
- Use other cheeses- Such as cheddar, provolone, smoked gouda, mozzarella, or even goat cheese.
- Season the butter differently- Use Italian or Greek seasoning, or even Everything but Bagel Seasoning.
- Add other meats- Such as smoked salmon, turkey, salami or other cured meats.
- Add bacon- This adds another layer of flavor and a crispy texture to the sandwiches.
- Add vegetables- Such as roasted vegetables like zucchini, red peppers, or spinach.
- Add caramelized onions- For a sweet and savory add-on.
- Make it spicy- Add jalapeno slices, or even red chili flakes to the butter.
- Replace pickles- Use thin slices of apples in place of the pickles for a sweeter version.

What to serve with pull apart sliders?
- Salads are a classic choice to serve with sandwiches: Easy Kale Salad (One Bowl), Pumpkin Salad (One Bowl), Italian Chopped Salad (One Bowl), Cucumber Tomato Salad (One Bowl).
- Soup adds to the warm comforting feel of these sandwiches. Try the addition of one of these for a full and complete meal: Cream of Broccoli Soup (One Pot), Split Pea Soup (One Pot), Roasted Red Pepper Soup (One Pot), Easy Vegetable Soup (One Pot).
Tips and techniques
- What cheese goes with ham best? Swiss is my favorite and what I recommend, but you can use provolone, smoked gouda, or even goat cheese.
- Use full fat cheese- Because this provides the best flavor, richness and "gooeyness."
- Use unsalted high- quality butter- Because this prevents the sandwich from being too salty. The ham will have enough salt in it already. Also, the better the quality of the butter, the better the sandwich will taste.
- Grease the pan- This prevents the rolls from sticking to the pan and ripping when removed.
- Bake covered first and then uncovered- This allows the tops to brown perfectly and lightly, ensuring golden brown tops.
Recipe FAQs
This can occur from too much moisture on the bread. Use slightly less butter. It can also happen if the pickles were not patted dry.
There are so many choices from mayonnaise, dijon mustard, ranch, spicy raspberry jelly or you can even try my Cranberry Chutney (One Pot).
Storage
- Refrigerate- In a sealed container for up to 2 days.
- Freeze- I don't recommend this. The texture of pickles and the cheese is just not the same upon thawing.
- Reheat- In the microwave or toaster oven.
- Make ahead instructions- Assemble the sandwiches up to the night before and refrigerate covered in the pan till you are ready to bake and serve.
