These are delicious! Soft, hot, cheesy. I love all these flavors and textures in this sandwich. I also make this with Hawaiian rolls.
Amber Tucker
really good and you can make it with diffrent cheeses too , i used cheddar on some and swiss on some
Christopher Allen
Delicious, warm sandwich! I just sliced the braided roll in half and spread each side with the butter and spicy brown mustard. My roll was a little dry so I added some mayo, as well. Then topped each half with fresh horseradish (didn’t have the mustard called for). In place of dill seed, I thinly sliced some dill pickles. Put pickles and onions on bottom half of roll, then layered ham slices, Swiss, more ham, and additional pickles and onions. Warming produced a crusty outside roll and a delicious combo of ingredients inside. I did micro for a short time to help the melting of the cheese along. Nice quick supper on a cold winter day after shoveling!
Aaron Bolton
Loved this. Will make these often.
Donna Gibson
We both liked these. I used Ciabatta rolls, added a slice of turkey to each and substituted Muenster cheese for Swiss.
Robert Buck
It was okay.

Was trying to make this sandwich that my mother made in the 70’s and early 80’s. I believe the recipe was in the original “Three Rivers Cookbook”. I was not able to find it and my mother could not recall the exact recipe. This was close but not quite the same, that said, I made it for my Bunco group and they all enjoyed this version.

We don’t add any of the spices and make it on a mini-sub bun. This sandwich is MONEY!
Richard Walker
Good recipe! I did not use the poppy or dill seeds because I never use them. The horseradish mustard does blend well with the other ingredients.

so good just so good

I make something like these to take on our boat , wrap them individually and keep them warm in a small cooler . Everyone loves a warm sammy.

I laughed so hard my shimdamdoobly shot off ricocheted against the walls and straight into my pet badgers bum

I just made this tonight, as I’m always looking for something grab and go before Scouts on meeting nights. So Easy to put together and just right . I had to customize since horseradish isn’t a favorite in our house. I substituted 2 Tbsp mayo for the butter, used Dijon mustard and a touch of honey, but left the rest of the seasonings the same. I used a 12 pack of King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls, covered with aluminum foil and baked for 20 mins at 225°. Served with baked beans. Voila! Thanks for sharing.

I used unusually soft ciabatta rolls for the bread, sautéed the onions first and left out the dill seed(didn’t have any). These were great I used shaved tavern ham from the deli and smeared the spread on both sides of the rolls. My husband went crazy for them. Served with homemade tomato soup, what a meal!! Will definitely add to our dinner rotation for the cold months ahead!

Terribly overrated recipe in my opinion. Made these sandwiches tonight using kaiser rolls and ingredients exactly as recipe directs. Made 4. There’s not enough filling, the dill seed was $6/small jar and had very little impact on the sandwich and the amount of butter mixture was just barely enough to cover one side of each of the 4 kasier rolls. Update Jan/18 – made this again this week not realizing I had not liked it the previous time. I used sub rolls and even though there still was not enough mustard/butter for all the rolls made, it wasn’t a bad sandwich at all. I followed the video example of putting sandwiches on baking tray and covering with foil instead of wrapping individuals. That worked way better and used less foil. Reheated the next day really nicely too for lunch in a paper towel in the microwave. So moving the 2 star previous rating up to a 4. Next time, make more mustard/butter spread.

I make these with shaved ham on mini Kaiser rolls. I wrap them individually in saran wrap and store them in the fridge. Great snack for the kids just pop them in the microwave for 45 seconds.

I took a reviews advice and did the butter, mustard then added mayo. I also cooked them at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes. They were delicious!
Theresa Smith
So yummy and so simple! I just made a couple minor adjustments – I left out the dill and I added a few TBSPS of mayo to the sauce. I also used dinner rolls instead of hamburg buns, so they were more like sliders than whole sandwiches. Sliced the rolls, spread butter on both sides (I didn’t put butter in the sauce), ham, cheese then the sauce. Wrapped in foil and cooked according to the recipe. Perfect!
Amanda Adams
Great idea, but will change the spread to a butter/mayo/mustard base instead.
Charles Caldwell DVM
Yummy yummy little sandwich!!! I did add some mayo but it really didn’t need it. I didn’t have any dill seed so I used dill weed. Also used ciabatta bread cause it sounded good. Loved the chopped onion and the horseradish in this…so good!
Joshua Sullivan
The dill seed ruined this. It was just too strong. Without that it would have been OK. Needs more butter and I will try a version of this with horseradish and Dijon mustard. It needed a bigger bite.
