Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine grated cheese and luncheon meat in a bowl; add chopped olives, dry mustard, pepper, chopped onion, mayonnaise, and pimentos. Mix well.
- Cut finger rolls in half and stuff with the cheese and meat mixture, placing the cut side up in a baking pan.
- Cover the stuffed rolls with foil and bake at 300°F for 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a bit more mayonnaise or even a splash of mustard for an extra zing. If you're not a fan of olives, you can substitute with chopped pickles or capers. Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack for a milder flavor. Make sure to use fresh finger rolls for the best texture when baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Party Buns are perfect for gatherings and pair beautifully with a refreshing salad like Company Macaroni Salad. Serve them alongside a zesty dip, such as Tangy Vegetable Dip, for a complete appetizer spread. They are also great for game day or casual get-togethers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the mixture ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cheese and meat mixture a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. When you're ready to serve, stuff the rolls and bake them as directed. This saves time on the day of your event.
What can I use instead of luncheon meat?
If you're looking for a healthier option, you can substitute the luncheon meat with shredded rotisserie chicken or even a plant-based meat alternative for a vegetarian twist. This will still give you a hearty filling without sacrificing flavor.
How can I make these buns spicier?
To add some heat, consider mixing in diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce into the filling. You could also use pepper jack cheese instead of sharp Cheddar for an extra kick. Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
