Ham and Cheese Melts (In the Slow Cooker)

Ingredients

  • 1 large round Artisan Loaf
  • provolone or swiss cheese
  • ham or turkey
  • onion slices
  • sweet banana peppers drained well
  • olive oil
  • Italian Seasoning optional
  • salt and pepper optional
  • 1/4 cup water for bottom of slow cooker

Instructions

  • Slice bread 11 - 13 times (you will need a very sharp knife for this!) Do not slice completely through the bread, instead leave a small amount unsliced at the bottom of the loaf to keep the sandwiches together.
  • Ball up a few pieces of aluminum foil and place in the bottom of the crockpot to keep your bread up off the top of the slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup water to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • On countertop, layer cheese and slices of ham or turkey, then add banana peppers and onion slices. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper.
  • Place each layer in between two slices of bread. (Be sure to drain the banana peppers so that they don't make the bread soggy.)
  • Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and cook for 2-4 hours on low. (We baked ours for about 4 hours and they were perfect!)
  • Remove from foil and slice into sandwiches.
  • Drizzle olive oil or add a little mayo to the inside of each sandwich if you'd like, and enjoy!
