Ritz Cracker Sandwiches with roast beef, provolone, and horseradish butter make the tastiest appetizer or party food. Ready in no time and easy to assemble ahead of time!
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet (with a rim) with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If you use foil, spray it with nonstick spray as the cheese will stick. I like to use the parchment of a silicone baking mat. You can also use a 9x13 baking dish.
Place 24 crackers in an even layer. You can place the flat side down to keep them from wobbling.
On top of each cracker, place a piece of roast beef and a piece of cheese. Top with another cracker to make 24 mini sandwiches.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, horseradish sauce, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to mix.
Pour over the cracker sandwiches evenly to coat them.
Sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove and enjoy!
Notes
Spray the foil or parchment paper with nonstick spray. The cheese will stick and the sandwiches will break apart otherwise.
Use a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13 dish. The butter sauce can run and you don't want it dripping in your oven.
Place crackers flat-side down so they don't wobble. This creates a stable base for stacking.
Cut deli meat and cheese into thirds or fold them oven fo they fit in the cracker.
Use a spoon or brush to distribute the butter sauce evenly over all the sandwiches.
Watch them during the last few minutes of baking. Ovens vary and you don't want them to burn.
Serve warm right out of the oven. The cheese is melty and the crackers are at their crispiest.
