Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Sliced deli ham
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 pieces Sandwich buns
- 8 pieces Cheese slices (optional, such as Swiss or cheddar)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Place the sliced deli ham into the slow cooker, separating the layers as you add them to ensure even cooking.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the ham slices in the slow cooker.
Add the unsalted butter on top of the ham mixture in small pieces to help it melt evenly as it cooks.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring halfway through the cooking process to ensure the ham is evenly coated with the sauce.
About 10 minutes before serving, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and toast the sandwich buns until lightly golden, if desired.
Once the ham is tender and heated through, use tongs to layer the ham onto the toasted buns.
Top each sandwich with a slice of cheese, if using, and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hot ham sandwiches!
