Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cup) unsalted butter
• 1 Small onion, minced
• 2 Cups (cup) ketchup
• 0.5 Cups (cup) water
• 0.33 Cups (cup) distilled white vinegar
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) yellow mustard, prepared
• 1.5 Pounds (lb) chipped chopped ham
• 8 Kaiser rolls, divided
• 1 Cup (cup) pickle relish, packaged (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) to prepare for toasting the rolls.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Incorporate the chipped chopped ham into the sauce, ensuring it is well-coated. Continue to cook until the sauce is bubbling and the ham is heated through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
5. While the ham is cooking, place the divided kaiser rolls in the preheated oven and toast them for 5 to 7 minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy.
6. Divide the ham mixture evenly among the toasted rolls. If desired, top with pickle relish for an added tangy crunch.
7. Serve the sandwiches hot, and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors that are quintessentially Pittsburgh.
