Ham & Swiss Sliders

 A while back we went to visit my Devilish Nephew and family.  We had quite the fun get-together.  There were 8 adults and 4 children present.  We had folks arriving at several times throughout the day.  Errands to run, a doctor's appointment, a big party planned for the next day.  All the men gathered around a giant brisket on the smoker.  I knew lunch would be need to be simple, with everyone in and out of the house all day.  I decided to make a couple of batches of slider sandwiches.  These are easy to eat, delicious hot or cold and made a hearty little lunch served with a couple of store bought chips and dips.  I managed to whip up two kinds of sliders, a batch of my Pumpkin Spice Pretzels, Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats, Apple Cider Donut Muffins, along with a big batch of side dishes for a football watch party.  All this, AND quality time with the Littlest Devils.  That should tell you how quick and easy these are to whip up.  A total crowd pleaser, these would be ideal for a tailgate or sports watch party, OR an easy meal on a busy day during the upcoming holiday season!
