Quick BBQ Ham Sandwiches

Ingrédients

• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar bbq sauce
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced deli honey ham ((*see notes))
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 6-8 hamburger buns or bread of choice
• 6-8 slices non-smoked provolone cheese ((optional))

Préparation

1. 1

   In a small mixing bowl whisk together all the bbq sauce ingredients.

2. 2

   Separate the ham and put it into a large skillet pan (with a lid). Pour the bbq sauce mixture over the ham.

3. 3

   Cook over medium-high heat until it's bubbling and slightly boiling. This will take about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, and cover the pan with the lid. Allow it to simmer for 10-12 minutes.* Take the lid off and stir the ham at least a couple of times during the simmer time to ensure that all the ham is getting coated and soaked in the sauce. * You will know when the ham is down when it's darker in color and the sauce has almost caramelized to the ham, and the sauce will be slightly thicker.

5. 5

   Stir together the cornstarch + cold water in a small bowl with a fork. Pour it into the skillet pan, while stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.

6. 6

   Use tongs to serve the BBQ ham onto hamburger buns, with or without cheese. You can also toast the buns & cheese under the broil in the oven for a few minutes (see notes for tips).
