Ingredients
Instructions
- Take the party rolls and scoop out their centers.

- Fill each roll with the mixture.
- Bake the filled rolls for 8 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting the Spam with diced cooked ham or turkey for a lighter option. You can also use cream cheese instead of Velveeta for a richer filling. Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat according to your preference. If you want a crunchier texture, consider adding some crushed potato chips to the filling for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These ham-filled party rolls make a perfect appetizer for gatherings or game days. Serve them alongside a fresh green salad or some spicy pickles for a refreshing contrast. They pair beautifully with Louisiana Creme Fudge for a delightful dessert after your savory bites. For a fun twist, serve with a variety of dipping sauces like ranch or barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover filled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but this may make the rolls a bit chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and scoop out the rolls a few hours in advance. Just fill and bake them right before serving for the best results. If you assemble them the night before, cover them tightly in the fridge and bake them directly from the refrigerator, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I use instead of Velveeta cheese?
If you're looking for a substitute for Velveeta, consider using shredded cheddar or a blend of your favorite cheeses. For a creamier texture, you could also experiment with cream cheese, which will provide a different flavor but still be delicious in this recipe.
How spicy are these rolls?
The spice level of these rolls can be easily adjusted based on your preference. The cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce add heat, but you can reduce or omit them for a milder version. Alternatively, you can add more if you like a spicier kick, making them suitable for all taste preferences.
