My most popular recipe on the blog is my Crock-Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham and needless to say I make it all the time especially during the holidays. I always have leftovers and I love making creative and kid friendly meals with them.
My kiddos love sliders so I thought I would use up a few of our holiday dishes including the ham, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes and make Leftover Holiday Ham Baked Sliders for dinner. They turned out better than expected {don’t you love when that happens} and we now have different versions of these mini baked sandwiches often!
For this recipe I use leftover sliced ham from this Crock-Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham.

Makes 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 package 12 count slider rolls {I use King's Hawaiian brand}
- 6 slices leftover baked ham cut in half {my Crock-Pot recipe here}

- 6 slices cheese {I like provolone or white cheddar}
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ham cooking liquid/juices optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Cut slider rolls in half width wise and place bottom half face up on a large baking sheet.
- Now spread leftover mashed potatoes {check out my recipe} on top of the bread.
- Top with thick ham slices.
- Spread cranberry sauce on top of ham.
- Top with 6 slices of cheese.
- Now add the top slider buns on top of the cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and discard the foil.
- Add dots of butter and sprinkle with brown sugar on the tops of the sliders.
- I like to brush on some of the ham juices on top of the sliders too.
- Put bake in the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the sugar is caramelized.
