Ham & Cheese Sliders

1 stick butter, melted

1 Tbsp honey mustard or Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp minced dried onion

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

12-count King's Hawaiian Rolls

12-16 oz sliced deli ham

8-12 slices Swiss cheese

If preparing to eat now, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9"x13" pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together first four ingredients.

Slice rolls in half.  (Open the package and slice the entire package in half at once.)  Place the bottom half in the pan.  Layer ham on the bottom buns, and then cheese on top.  Place the top half of the rolls on top.

Drizzle the butter mixture over the sliders.

If baking now, bake for about 20 minutes.

If baking tomorrow, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.  The next day, place pan in cold oven, set heat to 350, and bake for 20 minutes.  Remove foil and continue to bake 10-15 minutes.

Penne with Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce and Italian Sausage

Penne with Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce Servings: 8 Ingredients 1 pound uncooked penne pasta ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 (3.5 ounce) links sweet Italian sausage 4 cloves garlic, minced ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes ¾ teaspoon salt ½ cup heavy whipping cream (3/4 c) 2 tablespoons vodka (1/4 c) ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (spinach to taste) (onion powder to taste) Directions This spicy vodka pasta is a nice change from your typical tomato sauce. If you're worried about the alcohol, don't be! It cooks off and cannot be tasted. It simply helps to enhance the flavors. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove casing from sausage and add to the skillet. Cook and stir until crumbly and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is golden brown. Add tomatoes and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add cream and vodka; bring to boil. Add spinach when almost done boiling. Reduce heat to low and add pasta; toss for 1 minute. Stir in parsley (if used); serve warm. **Notes: Original recipe called for less vodka and heavy cream, but I did what is above. I also added onion powder to taste. Macey www.allrecipes.com/11815
