Ham and Cheese Melts
Thiss andwich is a great option for camping because it can be eaten cold from the ice chest, room temperature after hiking to a perfect picnic spot, or hot after being cooked over the campfire.
Servings: 18 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs deli ham thinly sliced
- 1 lb Swiss cheese sliced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp prepared mustard
- 3 tbsp poppy seeds
- 18-24 hamburger and/or slider buns
Instructions
At home:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Then stir in mustard, poppy seeds, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing ham and cheese on one side of bun and sauce on other side. For a hamburger bun I recommend 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese with about 1 T. of sauce. For a slider bun I recommend 1 slice of ham, 1/2 slice of cheese, and about 1 t. of sauce.
- Wrap sandwiches in foil, then place in a freezer bag and freeze.
At the campsite:
- Start your campfire or heat up your grill so that your heat source is ready. If using wood or charcoal, let the flames die out prior to cooking your food.
- Place your foil wrapped sandwiches on a grate over the heat for 15-20 minutes, flipping about halfway through, or until the cheese is melted and sandwiches are warm.
- Carefully pull the packets off and let them cool for a minute or two.
- Eat and enjoy!
