I grew up eating these saucy, sweet, tangy Pittsburgh ham barbecue sandwiches loaded with paper-thin sliced chipped chopped ham sold at deli counters in Pittsburgh. Islay's is the original and still the best chopped ham if you can find it.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion , finely chopped
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 0.33 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1.5 pounds chipped chopped ham
  • 8 kaisers rolls , split
  • 1 cup pickle relish , Optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard; simmer about 10 minutes. Stir in ham; cook until sauce is bubbling and ham is heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.

    Divide ham mixture among toasted rolls; top with pickle relish. Serve hot.
