W-shire sauce; 3 T. yellow mustard, 1/4 tsp. onion powder; poppy seeds.<br />Preheat oven to 325. Combine butter (or butter & olive oil) with W-shire, mustard, and onion powder in a microwave proof bowl and heat until melted. Whisk to blend. Spray baking pan (larger than 9 x 13) with cooking spray; lay all of the bun bottoms on pan, brush with about 2/3 T. of the butter sauce. Top with ham slice (fold to fit), 1 slice cheese and burger bun tops. Brush bun top with butter sauce, sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cover with foil (spray foil top with cooking spray to prevent sticking) and bake in preheated oven for 20 min. Serve and enjoy. Any favorite deli meat can be substituted.NanaDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00802092404837966795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747990468719074509.post-62941288594381477112012-01-31T11:04:26.596-05:002012-01-31T11:04:26.596-05:00You inspire me. :)You inspire me. :)Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908679721983129444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747990468719074509.post-37092030338460033942012-01-30T23:59:36.034-05:002012-01-30T23:59:36.034-05:00I'm sorry you've been sick, Alicia.

I love how you are planning to start freezer cooking again, and even have a menu plan already!! I want to check out your crockpot chicken and dumplings, we love chicken and dumplings and that would be a great freezer meal to make and freeze now for after the baby comes. I hope you have a wonderful, less-crazy week!!
