Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Cooked, sliced ham
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 6 Soft sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the ingredients are fully combined.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the sliced cooked ham to the saucepan. Stir to coat the ham evenly in the barbecue sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let the ham simmer in the sauce for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the flavors meld together.
If desired, lightly butter the insides of the sandwich buns and toast them in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the barbecue ham mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the sandwich buns.
Place the top halves of the buns on the sandwiches and serve warm. Optionally, serve with coleslaw or pickles for added flavor and crunch.
