Ingredients:
- 1 cup chili sauce
- 1/4 cup ham, chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 6 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup salad dressing
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- 8 sandwich buns
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by chopping the ham into small, bite-sized pieces. This step is crucial to ensure the ham mixes well with the other ingredients.
- Chop the hard-boiled eggs and green onions. The eggs add a creamy texture while the green onions provide a fresh, crunchy contrast.
-
Mix the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the salad dressing and chili sauce. Mix until well blended. The salad dressing brings a tangy, creamy base while the chili sauce adds a hint of spice and sweetness.
- Add the chopped ham, hard-boiled eggs, and green onions to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing mixture.
-
Prepare the Buns:
- Slice the sandwich buns open, making sure not to cut all the way through. This helps to hold the filling inside the buns without it spilling out.
- Generously fill each bun with the ham salad mixture.
-
Wrap and Bake:
- Wrap each filled bun in aluminum foil. This step is essential as it helps the sandwiches to heat evenly and keeps them moist.
- Place the wrapped buns on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes. The baking process allows the flavors to meld together, and the buns to get warm and slightly crisp.
-
Serve:
- Carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before unwrapping the foil.
- Serve the hot ham salad sandwiches immediately, and enjoy the delicious blend of warm ham, creamy dressing, and fresh green onions.
Cooking Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to add other ingredients like pickles or celery for extra crunch and flavor.
- Cheese: If you prefer, you can mix shredded cheese into the salad mixture or sprinkle it on top before baking for a cheesy twist.
- Bread Choices: While sandwich buns are suggested, you can use other types of bread like hoagie rolls or ciabatta for a different texture and taste.
