My aunt brought a platter of these to the cookout and the men completely demolished them before we even sat down. You only need 3 ingredients to make them.

Southern 3-ingredient ham roll ups are one of those simple little party bites that disappear faster than you expect. They have that classic church potluck and family cookout charm, with salty deli ham wrapped around a creamy filling and a crisp green onion center for just the right bite. When you need something easy, make-ahead friendly, and dependable for gatherings, this recipe is hard to beat.

Serve these chilled on a snack tray with crackers, cheese cubes, pickles, or a vegetable platter for an easy appetizer spread. They also fit right in beside baked beans, potato salad, pasta salad, and barbecue at a casual cookout, and they are especially nice for baby showers, holiday lunches, and game day tables where people like easy finger foods.
