    I am wondering about the amount of ham. The recipe says 12 slices but the picture looks like it has double the amount?

  2. Samantha Pape says:

    Can I use something else other than mustard???

  3. Tony says:

    Haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I can see how easily you could turn this into Cuban sandwiches with pickles and some pulled pork…definitely gonna try this!!

  4. Alison says:

    Super easy recipe. I have a large group of grand kids. I liked being able to double and triple the recipe. Really good. Used honey mustard, cheddar, and honey ham for the younger crowd. Turned out really well.

    I made this for my family. I was surprised my picky eater liked it. She said “what is this it’s really good. I’ll have another slice please”. We paired it with tomato soup. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    This was delicious!  A real hit with everyone in the family from 4 to 90.  For our vegetarians, I used portobello mushrooms instead of ham.
