These Cheesy Garlic Butter Sandwich Skewers are a twist on an old classic. Cheesy Ham, Turkey, and cheese sandwiches drizzled with garlic butter and cooked to perfection in foil packets; such a fun and delicious lunch or dinner!
Aren’t these just the cutest sandwich skewers! These delicious turkey and cheddar and ham and swiss sandwiches are doused in garlic butter and baked or grilled inside individual foil packets, creating melty, soft, AMAZING lunch recipe on a stick that is sure to make even the pickiest eaters quite happy.
These Garlic Butter Sandwich Skewers are here just in time for back to school and just begging to be devoured. Are you excited?
This recipe is especially fun because it’s a recreation of a favorite from the 1960s. Called “Hamcheezers” back in the day, I can’t take credit for the idea of putting sandwiches on a stick. The original recipe called for shredded spiral ham and cheese, but I thought it would be great (and easier/more accessible) to make them with assorted lunch meat and sliced cheese.
It also called for a mustard sauce on the buns instead of garlic butter . Since I like to slather garlic butter on pretty much anything and everything, I had to give it a try on these as well. They turned out SO GREAT, I can’t wait to make them again.
These Cheesy Garlic Butter Sandwich Skewers wouldn’t be possible without Reynolds Wrap . They were behind the original Hamcheezers of the 1960s and also behind this new version. Reynolds Wrap Non Stick Foil is absolutely perfect for either grilling or baking these bad boys.
From grilling to freezing to everything in between (foil packets, covering dishes, storing leftovers, lining baking pans, the list goes on and on!) They’ve been creating kitchen miracles since 1947…I’m so honored to work with them!
You could make these Garlic Butter Sandwich Skewers so many ways. Next time I’m going to make a french dip version with roast beef and provolone! I’m hooked.
I also love serving these along with Air Fryer potato wedges and a bowl of homemade tomato soup . So good!
However you serve them, I hope you enjoy!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
