My brother was visiting recently and I served these delicious hot colby ham sandwiches. These sandwiches are quick and easy to make for a weekend lunch. Or serve with a salad and/or soup for a delicious weeknight dinner. They take about 30 minutes to make. They are kid approved as well because they were a big hit with the youngsters.
I used my favorite hamburger buns from my grocery store bakery. Use your favorite rolls or easily make them into sliders for a party. You could mix up the cheeses too.
This recipe, for hot colby ham sandwiches, is also the week 16 recipe in the 52 Week New Recipe Challenge. It’s definitely a keeper too!

I could freeze these and wrap in foil and then just heat them up do you think? I may do that this week with the ham I have in the fridge and stash away for when the kids come home when college is out. Thanks for sharing at Easter Leftover Makeover Recipe Party! Yummo!

I need to do some research about Colby cheese to better understand what differentiates it from Cheddar. Love cheese and Ham
