🥘Ingredients

For the BBQ

1 pound Isaly’s chipped ham or thinly sliced deli ham
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving

6 hamburger buns
Butter for toasting buns (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, water, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, onion powder, and black pepper.
2Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
3Reduce the heat to low and add the chipped ham to the sauce, separating the slices as you add them.
4Stir gently to coat all the ham evenly, then let it simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5While the ham simmers, split the hamburger buns and toast them in a toaster or under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden, if desired.
6Remove the buns and set them aside.
7Using a slotted spoon, pile the chipped ham mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
8Spoon a little extra sauce over the top, then cap with the bun tops.
9Serve immediately while hot.
