If holiday gatherings involve these Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders then let’s get the party started!!
Bring on all of the family gatherings, holiday parties, and last minute family drop-ins. I got ya covered with these mouth-watering, sweet and salty Hawaiian sliders. They are super easy to prep and don’t take long to bake. There are so many reasons you should be making these this holiday season! My #1 reason is that they are so dang cuuuute!
With so much good food around the house this time of year how does one even decide what to eat?! Some love the sweet things and others are more for the savory dishes so why not pull both sweet and savory together and dish out these bad boys to family and friends? Let the sliders speak for themselves! Ohh yeeeah.
And when you tell the kids there is pineapple inside, it will leave them speechless…for 10 seconds that is then there will be question after question, you know the norm.
What are your food goals for the holiday? Do you have some great family traditions and stick to those year to year or are you a fly by the seat of your pants kinda gal or guy? I love hearing about Christmas traditions and all that goes with them. We usually make this soup for Christmas Eve.
I don’t know about you but when holidays come around, there’s a lot more on my mind than food (clearing throat loudly) and I’m a food blogger. Real life means there are presents to buy, decorations to put up, trees to assemble, and spouses to buy presents for. Umm, I think I need to put my creative hat on this year because it seems I am buying the same thing for my poor hubs every year. Creativity please knock on my door and hit me over the head with what I should do this year!
So l am saying we should go ahead and make the holiday gathering dinners simple without looking simple and fancy without the headache that goes with fancy. Let’s do these magnificent Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders that no one will say “no thank you” to.
Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders…here’s what is in ’em:
Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls
Mayo
Swiss Cheese
Ham
Sliced Pineapple
Super delicious sauce that is not so secret, scroll down for the details!
Can you even contain yourself?!! βπ
It is definitely food season around here! I mean these rate a 10 on the delicious, easy, and quick scales. You just can’t beat that. I am thinking about that first night when all of the fam just gets into town and everyone is probably wondering about supper plans and how it’s just as easy to go to Taco John’s. That’s where I want you to rewind and stop at as easy to and fill that in with these oh so perfect sliders. The reason being is so much nicer to lounge around at home. Grab a veggie tray and some chips and dip and you have got yourself dinner for all!!
Happy Holidays Friends!!!
Until next time..βοΈ
