Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chipped ham (thinly sliced deli ham)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Water
- 6 pieces Soft sandwich buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and water. Stir well to mix thoroughly.
Bring the barbecue sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the sauce is simmering, separate the chipped ham slices into smaller pieces for easier mixing and portioning later.
Add the chipped ham to the saucepan with the barbecue sauce. Stir until all the ham is coated evenly in the sauce.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook over low heat for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through and infused with the sauce.
If desired, lightly butter the sandwich buns and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Spoon a generous portion of the barbecue ham mixture onto the bottom half of each sandwich bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your Pittsburgh Style Ham BBQ Sandwiches!
