Stuffed Sandwiches

16 oz. boneless ham (I just buy sliced ham for sandwiches)
1- 4.25 oz. can chopped olives
5-6 oz. sweet pickle relish
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese
1 dozen hard rolls.

In a meat grinder (I use the attachment for my Kitchen Aid). Grind the ham and cheese. (The key is to make sure you have more ham than cheese). Then add the olives and pickle relish and mix well.
Then take your rolls and cut them open. Take out a little bit of the bread in the top and put a large spoon full of the filling into the roll. Then wrap the roll up in tinfoil. Place them in the oven on 200. You just want to leave them in there long enough to melt the cheese.

Cream Cheese Glaze
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powder sugar
1 tablespoon milk
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese at low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined. Add milk, beating until smooth.
(Sarah's notes: This is a Paula Dean recipe. Mine took longer than 60 minutes to bake. I just kept setting the timer until the toothpick came out clean. For the icing I put it in a ziplock baggie and clipped the corner or the bag so I could drizzle it like the picture)
