  • Layer ham (or turkey) and Swiss (or provolone) on top of roll bottoms.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality ham: Look for a ham that is fully cooked and has a good smoky flavor. You can use a bone-in or boneless ham, depending on your preference.
  • Make the sandwiches ahead of time: You can make the ham sandwiches up to 24 hours ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. This will make it easy to grab and go on game day.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and pickles. You can also add a spread, such as mayonnaise, mustard, or barbecue sauce.
  • Serve the sandwiches warm or cold: Ham sandwiches are delicious served warm or cold. If you are serving them warm, you can heat them up in the oven or microwave. If you are serving them cold, you can simply pack them in a cooler with ice packs.

Conclusion:

Ham sandwiches are a classic tailgate party food for a reason. They are easy to make, portable, and delicious. With a little planning, you can make ham sandwiches that will be the hit of your next tailgate party.
