Cut the cooked ham into medium-thick slices or chunks, depending on your preference, and place them in the crock pot.
Add the canned pineapple chunks along with their juice to the crock pot.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Pour the brown sugar mixture over the ham and pineapple in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the ham is heated through and tender, stirring occasionally if desired.
Once cooked, carefully remove the ham and pineapple from the crock pot using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Toast the Hawaiian-style sandwich rolls lightly if preferred.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing sliced ham and pineapple onto the bottom half of each roll. Add a slice of Swiss cheese if using, then top with the other half of the roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical ham sandwiches!
