Quick BBQ Ham Sandwiches

Quick & easy BBQ Ham Sandwiches are a family favorite with slices of tender ham simmered in a semi-homemade bbq sauce. Serve over buns and with provolone cheese for the best 30 minute dinner.

📝 Ingredients

• 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))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a small mixing bowl whisk together all the bbq sauce ingredients.
2. 2Separate the ham and put it into a large skillet pan (with a lid). Pour the bbq sauce mixture over the ham.
3. 3Cook over medium-high heat until it's bubbling and slightly boiling. This will take about 5 minutes.
4. 4Once 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. 5Stir 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. 6Use 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).
