Back to School Lunch Prep

Freezer Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

For as long as I can remember my mom has been making these sandwiches.  A few years ago she started keeping them in the freezer.  Last year when I had to start packing a lunch everyday, I jumped on board.  I have her recipe, but of course I don't really follow it.  This is how I do it...

This took me about 10 minutes to make and I made 16 sandwiches.  You can use any bread--those little rolls, croissants, or the bread above are sandwich rolls that were on sale at Kroger.

Ingredients:
Bread
ham-thinly sliced (I bought one pound but used a little more than 3/4)
cheese-I used the Kraft thin slice--any kind of cheese works

Sauce:
3-4 TBS butter (the original recipe calls for 2 sticks-so use more if you like)
poppy seeds --I just tossed some in-probaby about a tsp
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1TBS dry mustard

Make the sandwiches.  Then put a little of the sauce on top.  I probably ended up using half the sauce.

Freeze them.  In the morning before school throw them in the oven, turn the oven on to 350.  Let them cook about 20-25 minutes. And that's it!  My kids LOVE them!

With the leftover ham and the 4 cheese slices that I had left, I will make a "lunchable" a couple of days this week.  Zeb is a hypertension doctor and so a real lunchable is a no go in our house because of the saturated fat and sodium.  The kids like the idea of them so often I do a lunchable style school lunch!

*These also are great for breakfast!
