These easy funeral ham sliders are a simple, comforting crockpot recipe perfect for parties and gatherings, featuring tender ham slow-cooked with a sweet and tangy mustard glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds deli-sliced ham or leftover cooked ham, chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 soft Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, yellow mustard, pineapple juice, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and onion powder until smooth and well combined.
  2. Slice the rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact as a single layer. Place the bottom halves in the crockpot, fitting them snugly.
  3. Add the ham: Spread the chopped or torn ham evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
  4. Pour the glaze: Slowly pour half of the butter mixture over the ham, using a spoon or brush to coat evenly.
  5. Top the sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls over the ham and brush with the remaining glaze.
  6. Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours until rolls are warm, soft, and slightly sticky with glaze, and ham is tender.
  7. Serve: Cut the sliders into individual sandwiches right in the crockpot and serve warm.

Notes

For a crispy edge, broil assembled sliders for 3-4 minutes before serving. Rotate crockpot insert halfway through cooking if heat is uneven. Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating; add 30 minutes to cooking time. Pineapple juice tenderizes ham and balances sweetness. Use soft Hawaiian rolls for best flavor. Vegetarian version can be made with smoked tofu or tempeh and vegan butter.
