Pittsburgh Chipped Ham BBQ Sandwiches

Pittsburgh Chipped Ham BBQ Sandwiches deliver tender, ultra-thin ham simmered in a tangy-sweet sauce with hints of smoke, relish, and warm spice. The flavor is nostalgic and balanced—perfect for a casual weeknight meal, game-day spread, or a laid-back weekend lunch. Piled onto soft hamburger buns, each bite is saucy, slightly smoky, and pleasantly sweet.

    Shred the ham and stir it into the mixture. Simmer longer if you like, then serve hot on hamburger buns.
