Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Put the mixture onto buns.
- Wrap the sandwiches in foil and freeze.
- From frozen, place the wrapped sandwiches into a preheated oven.
- Turn the oven to 350°F and heat for approximately 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the chipped ham with smoked turkey or roast beef. If you prefer a creamier texture, mixing in some cream cheese can work wonders. To reduce prep time, use pre-sliced onions or pre-chopped olives. Make sure to tightly wrap each sandwich in foil to prevent freezer burn. This recipe is reminiscent of Finger Roll Sandwiches, perfect for gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
These frozen sandwiches make a fantastic meal or snack for busy days. Serve them with a side of pickles or a fresh salad, such as Pfister Salad, for a refreshing contrast. You can also present them with warm chili for dipping. For a fun twist, consider pairing them with Stuffed Baby Red Potatoes as a hearty side dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store the wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container to maintain freshness. They can be kept frozen for up to three months. To reheat, remove the foil and place directly in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. This method helps retain the sandwich's moisture.
