Yay for football season! It heralds the beginning of fall. And pumpkin lattes, apple cider, root vegetables, pumpkins, and creative costumes for little trick-or-treaters. One of the best thing about football season is all the good food. These sliders are a snap to throw together and would be great any time. Maybe a baby shower or a church supper. And if you don’t consider yourself much of a cook, I bet you can still make these.

Ham and Swiss Hawaiian Sliders

• 1 pkg Hawaiian King rolls
• 1/2 to 3/4 lb shaved ham
• 6 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp dried minced onions
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp poppy seeds
• Swiss cheese slices

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter and mix in mustard, minced onions, and poppy seeds together. Split the rolls and paint the butter mixture on each side of the rolls. Place ham and Swiss cheese on the bottom half. Apply the top of each bun. Bake until the cheese is melted.

Today is the first day of Greenbay Packer football. My husband is a huge fan. So, needless to say, he really looked forward to today’s game. Special events should be accompanied by special food like this yummy sandwich. It is perfectly quick so you too can watch the game.

Spicy Italian Sandwich 

• 1 petite boule
• 1/4 pound thinly sliced pepperoni
• 1/4 pound thinly sliced dry salami
• 1/4 pound thinly sliced ham
• 6 provolone or mozzarella cheese slices
• Olive tapenade
• 1/8 cup mayo
• 2 tbsp whole grain mustard

Split the bread in half using a serrated knife. Remove some of the center breading so that the bread half looks like a very shallow bowl. This makes room for the tapenade. Spread the bottom half of the bread with the mayo and the whole grain mustard.

In non-stick skillet, warm the meat in individual slices to help release a little extra flavor. Layer half of the pepperoni, then half the salami, half of the ham, and half of the cheese. Repeat the last step. On the top bread half, thickly spread the olive tapenade. Place the bread halved together and wrap the whole sandwich in foil.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread into the oven and bake 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and slice into 4 servings. Enjoy with a good beer!
