Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb sliced deli ham
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 sandwich buns
- 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir thoroughly and heat for 5 minutes until the mixture is warm and slightly thickened.
Add the sliced deli ham to the saucepan and toss to coat evenly. Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Spread softened butter evenly on the cut sides of the sandwich buns. Toast the buns, butter-side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun while the bread is still warm to allow the cheese to soften slightly.
Top the cheese with a generous portion of the warm barbecue-coated ham.
Add a layer of thinly sliced red onion and pickles (if using) on top of the ham for extra crunch and flavor.
Place the top half of the bun over the sandwich fillings and gently press down.
Serve the Tangy Barbecue Ham Sandwiches immediately with your favorite side dishes, like coleslaw or potato chips.
