Can I make these as cold sliders?

Yes. They work as a cold sandwich if you want Sliders Cold Sandwich Recipes for a picnic. Skip the bake and keep chilled.

What rolls work best?

Hawaiian rolls give the ideal sweet-soft contrast. Use them for classic results — they’re the heart of why these fall under Sandwiches With Hawaiian Rolls and Sandwich On Hawaiian Rolls conversations.

Can I use different ham?

Absolutely. Use leftover holiday ham or deli ham, but aim for tender, flavorful slices. The recipe originally uses Hatfield Classic Boneless Ham for big, meaty slices.

They absolutely channel Southern Sliders comfort food energy — melty, rich, and shareable.

Can I make slider subs instead?

Yes — line up rolls in a long pan or use sub rolls for a Slider Subs vibe. Adjust bake time slightly for larger buns.

Sandwiches Using Hawaiian Rolls - Irresistible Mississippi Sin Ham Sliders

Description

Tiny, toasted ham sandwiches slathered with a tangy, cheesy Mississippi Sin-style spread — melty, smoky, and perfect for crowds.

Ingredients

Scale

½ lb Hatfield thick-cut hardwood smoked bacon
1 (3-lb) Hatfield classic boneless ham
8 oz cream cheese, softened
10-oz block yellow cheddar, shredded (about 3 cups)
8 oz container sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup scallions, finely minced (about 3–4 scallions, whites + greens)
A few dashes hot sauce (to taste)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1½ dozen soft pull-apart slider rolls (about 18 rolls)
2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

Set the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until crisp, roughly 15–20 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, let cool, then chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on.
With a very sharp knife, thinly slice the ham; set the slices aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir in the scallions, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth and evenly blended.
Fold the cooled, crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture. Taste and tweak seasoning if needed.
Split the slider rolls horizontally. Spread the cheese-bacon mixture over the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves, dividing it evenly across all 18 rolls.
Pile the ham onto the bottom halves, folding slices as necessary to fit. Replace the tops and press the sliders gently together. Fit the assembled sliders snugly into a 9×13-inch baking dish (or a similarly sized pan).
Brush the roll tops with the melted butter. Cover the pan with parchment and foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the cover and continue baking for about 15 more minutes, until the tops turn golden and the filling is hot and gooey.
Pull the pan from the oven and serve right away.

Notes

Quick tip: For extra crunch and contrast, crisp the bacon until very firm. For easier slicing of the ham, chill it briefly before cutting. Enjoy while hot.
