Welcome to our supper swap for busy moms, where each member prepares just one recipe and prepares it for each swapper in the group. On swap day, swappers receive one frozen meal from each member. Homemade meals in the freezer help get families back to the dinner table and provide smiles for busy moms.

Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwiches Serving Day Instructions:
Partially thaw on cookie sheet or baking stone. Open sandwich when defrosted enough to open and allow to thaw almost completely. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees or until cheese melts and heated through. Put the sandwiches back together and serve. These are large sandwiches, so you may wish to cut in half.
