Yes We Cam

War Eagle!!!! Tonight we had fellow Auburn grads over to watch the Auburn v. Clemson game. What a game! Auburn pulled off a win in overtime, and we screamed so loud it probably woke the neighbors :) I fixed some yummy snacks for tonight's get-together. The menu included:

  1. Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars
  2. Fruit Platter with Pineapple Cream Cheese Dip
  3. Ham and Cheese Sliders
  4. Rotel Dip
All the treats were a huge success. Jonathan helped out by making his signature Rotel dip, and he added ground beef into the mix, so it turned out really well, too. Here are a couple of pictures for you.

P.S. If you're wondering about the misspelling in the title of my blog post, it's in honor of our Auburn's quarterback Cameron (Cam) Newton.

The fruit platter (notice the dish is a stadium and the dip is in a football)

The spread (yes, I am using orange and blue plates leftover from the groom's cake at our wedding, lol)

I think the biggest hit were the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars, but I LOVED the ham and cheese sliders (recipe modified from Annie's Eats). Here's the recipe if you want to give it a shot:

24 mini Hawaiian rolls
24 slices honey ham
24 slices swiss cheese
Mayo
1.5 Tbsp. yellow mustard
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Poppy seeds (for sprinkling)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut rolls in half and spread a very thin layer of mayo on the insides. Fold a slice of ham to fit on each roll, then top with a slice of cheese. Place in a baking pan or on a baking sheet. In a bowl, combine the butter, mustard, onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Drizzle over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 2 more minutes. Serve warm.
