WARMING CHIPS TRICK

I love to serve warm chips with my salsas and queso dips, but keeping the chips warm was a challenge. Then I tried my slow cooker. I set the pot on high to heat the chips and I later turned it down t low. The chips stayed warm all evening!!!!!!!

I have made these for my friends and they just love them....I usually use Ham and Turkey, but feel free to make them with what you like most.....My dipping sauce will make everyone come back for more....Enjoy!!!!!!

HAM & OR TURKEY FILLED BISCUITS WITH HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE:

BISCUITS:
1 (12 oz.) can Pillsbury Big country refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (I think that the layer type DOESN'T work as well)

1 Tablespoon Stone ground mustard

FILLING:
2 Tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 cup butter, softened
20 slices deli sliced cooked ham or turkey ( I do both)

DIPPING SAUCE:
3 Tablespoons Stone Ground Mustard
2 Tablespoons Mayo
2 Tablespoons Honey
You can double this if you like.............

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each biscuit in half crosswise (to make 2 half-moon shapes).
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
With back of teaspoon, spread 1 tablespoon mustard evenly over tops of biscuits.
Bake for 10 - 14 minutes or until golden brown
Place on wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine onions and butter, mix well.
Split each cooked biscuit, spread both halves with about 1/4 teaspoon butter mixture.
Roll ham and or turkey slices loosely and place on bottom biscuit halves; cover with top halves to make sandwiches. (I sometimes place a fancy party pick or toothpick in sandwich to hold together better for serving)
In another bowl, combine dipping sauce ingredients, blend well.
Transfer to small serving dish.
Serve the sandwiches arranged around the dipping sauce on a platter for serving.
