Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the BBQ Sauce
- In a large mixing bowl, grab your ketchup and add in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. You want the sugar to dissolve into the sauce, creating a beautifully cohesive mixture.
Step 2: Combine the Ham with the Sauce
- Now, it’s time to grab your chip chopped ham. Stir it thoroughly into the sauce mixture, ensuring that every piece of ham is well-coated. This is where the flavor gets to really shine, as the ham absorbs all that fantastic saucy goodness.
Step 3: Heat the Ham and Sauce
- Transfer the ham and sauce mixture into a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes. Your mission is to warm it through completely. You’ll start to smell those mouthwatering flavors combining, and before you know it, it’ll be stick-to-your-bones good!
Step 4: Keep Warm Until Ready to Serve
- If you're not serving it immediately, you can keep your BBQ ham warm in a slow cooker. Set it to low and maintain that cozy warmth. It will still be just as delicious when you’re ready to serve.
Step 5: Serve on Kaiser Rolls
- Finally, pick up some soft Kaiser rolls. These rolls are perfect for this dish—they're sturdy enough to hold all that juicy ham and sauce without falling apart. Just pile on the BBQ ham and get ready for a flavor explosion with every single bite!
Notes
- Quality Counts: Use a good-quality brand of ketchup. It’s the base of your sauce, so it should taste fantastic.
- Temperature Matters: Keep an eye on the skillet. If it’s too hot, the sauce can caramelize and stick. You want a gentle heat to keep everything smooth.
- Make It Spicy: If you like heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for an added kick.
- Serve with Freshness: A few slices of pickles on top of the ham sandwiches can add an exciting tang that cuts through the sweetness.
- Double the Recipe: If you’re feeding a crowd, making a double batch ensures everybody leaves satisfied, with leftovers to spare!
