These tasty sandwiches are a great way to use leftover ham. Friends with whom I've shared the recipe tell me that ham buns disappear fast at potlucks or parties. Use mini-buns and make ahead for an easy meal or snack. —Esther Shank Harrisonburg, Virginia

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seed
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
  • 1-1/4 cups finely chopped fully cooked ham (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 6 to 8 hamburger buns, split or 16 to 20 mini buns

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the butter, onion, poppy seed, Worcestershire sauce and mustard until well blended. Add ham and cheese; mix well.
  2. Divide evenly among buns. Place in a shallow baking pan and cover with foil. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
