Notes

You can use any combination of meat and cheese. Popular choices include ham with Swiss, turkey with cheddar, or pepperoni/salami with mozzarella. Any type of bun, roll, slider, or even regular sandwich bread works. For pan sizes, use a 9x13 inch pan for brown 'n serve rolls, a 7x11 inch pan for Hawaiian rolls, or a large sheet pan for sandwich bread. These sandwiches are delicious served cold for lunch the next day or warmed up.
