Honey Ham Biscuit Sliders

I've been trying to teach my 14-year-old daughter to cook by having her help me make dinner every night. After a few years of this, I decided to have her cook one meal a week all by herself. So far, she's been doing great and learning important new things every week, like how to manage her time, how to make substitutions on the fly, and how to avoid setting the kitchen on fire! She's become quite adventurous and will sometimes tackle recipes that would scare away the average home cook.

Of course, I think it's great when she can create an amazing gourmet meal, but I also want her to learn some simple recipes that she can make when she goes to college or moves out on her own and doesn't have the time for anything grand. Too many people rely on the drive-thru when they need a quick meal because they don't have a collection of quick and easy recipes they can make instead. This came together in just a few minutes, used ingredients we almost always have on hand, and everybody thought it was yummy, so I can definitely see it on her monthly rotation from now on.
