In a saucepan, add 1/2 cup of butter, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.

Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, then set it aside.

Take 12 small Hawaiian rolls and cut them in half.

Place the bottoms of the rolls into a 7 by 11 baking dish.

Add a layer of sliced cooked deli ham.

Add a layer of sliced Swiss cheese.

Add another layer of ham on top of the cheese.

Place the tops of the Hawaiian rolls back on.

Pour the sauce over the sliders and spread it out to ensure they are evenly coated.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it into the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Bake the sliders covered for 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.

Remove from the oven and place the sliders onto a wire rack to cool.

Slice the sliders into individual pieces to serve.
