Easy slider recipe good for working with young chefs

Take your ham-andcheese sandwich to the next level by turning it into a slider. Fluffy potato dinner rolls are just the right size for a few bites. Heating these small sandwiches in the oven makes the rolls nice and crisp and the cheese fully melted.

You can also make these sliders in a toaster oven. To make a lot of sliders for a party, double or triple this recipe (to make 8 or 12 sliders) and heat them all on one rimmed baking sheet in the oven. This is a great recipe to follow along with your kids.
