Replace ham with turkey or roast beef, try cheddar or provolone cheese, or add your favorite seasonings. Serve them with salad, pickles, chips, or soup for a complete meal. Leftovers can be refrigerated for three to four days, making these buttery sliders a convenient and delicious choice for almost any occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Funeral Sandwiches: The Delicious Ham-and-Cheese Sliders Everyone Loves** Funeral sandwiches are warm, buttery ham-and-cheese sliders that have become a favorite at family\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47529,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
