PITTSBURGH HAM BARBECUE SANDWICHES
There are various versions of this recipe on zaar, but this one is my favorite. The key ingredient is the chili sauce, preferably Heinz. In Pittsburgh, Isaly's "chipped chopped" ham is the brand of choice but it is hard to find outside of western Pennsylvania. The best alternative is to have the butcher slice the ham very thin (almost like shaving it), and then chop all those slices coarsely. These sandwiches are a hot and sweet treat with a little spice and a Pittsburgh favorite. I got it from a local Pittsburgh cookbook.

PITTSBURGH BBQ HAM SANDWICHES
I haven't lived in Pittsburgh for 25 years, but everyone from there is familiar with a bbq chipped ham sandwich. Everyone also has their own recipe. Thought with the Steelers going on to another SuperBowl, I'd post my mother's recipe for BBQ ham sandwiches. In Pittsburgh, there is a deli called Isaly's. They are famous for their chip chopped ham. If you can find this, it's the best. If not, simply ask your deli to shave or chip their cheapest ham or whatever ham is on sale, like a cooked ham or something. You want it pretty much falling apart. This will do as a substitute. The person working the deli counter will hate you for having them shave the ham, as it takes a while, but just smile:) and say thank you. This site won't allow for me to enter chip chopped ham, but now you know what is meant:) My mother has been deceased for many years, so I can't ask her what she meant by a family-size ketchup. That's what the recipe called for. I imagine it was those glass bottled ketchups that use to be on every table, but I am unsure of the size. Sorry. I'm guessing it was the 14 oz size. Oh, and if you're making this for Superbowl Sunday, it has to be Heinz ketchup since that's from Pittsburgh:) Let me know if it works out. Go Steelers!

Steps:
- Heat the ketchup, water, mustard, vinegar, relish, and brown sugar in a crockpot or pot on the stove. Once incorporated, add the ham and heat through.
- Serve on hamburger buns.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a good quality ham. Look for one that is smoked and fully cooked.
- If you don't have a barbecue, you can cook the ham in a smoker or even in your oven.
- To make the barbecue sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own. There are many recipes available online.
- Be sure to cook the ham until it is heated through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham. The internal temperature should be 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the ham sandwiches on your favorite bread. You can also add other toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Conclusion:
Pittsburgh ham barbecue sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone.
