Description

These Ham Barbecue Sandwiches are a comforting American classic that transforms leftover cooked ham into a delicious hot meal. The secret lies in the rich, zesty sauce made by simmering ketchup with cider vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. This combination creates a deep, savory-sweet glaze that coats the chopped ham perfectly. By wrapping the filled rolls in foil and grilling them, the bread toasts lightly while the meat heats through without drying out, keeping everything juicy and warm. They are ideal for casual weeknight dinners, summer cookouts, or quick lunches when you want something hearty yet simple. The smoky char from the grill adds an extra layer of flavor that makes these sandwiches stand out from your typical cold ham sandwich.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the chopped cooked ham, ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, prepared mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and combine flavors.
  3. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat.
  4. Prepare your grill for medium heat (about 350&# 194;°F (177ðC) (204ðC)to 400ðF) or until coals are grey and ash-covered.
  5. Tear off eight 10-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place one frankfurter roll on each square.
  6. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the hot ham mixture into each roll, filling them generously.
  7. Fold the foil over the rolls to create a loose but secure packet, sealing the edges to keep the heat in but allowing some steam to escape.
  8. Place the foil packets on the grill grate, about 4 inches from the heat source.
  9. Grill for 20 minutes, turning the packets often with tongs to ensure even heating and toasting of the bread.
  10. Carefully open the foil packets (watch for hot steam) and serve the warm sandwiches immediately.

Note

Storage: You can serve the ham mixture warm immediately after cooking, or cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. If refrigerating, reheat gently on the grill in the foil packets.

Safety: When opening the foil packets after grilling, be careful as hot steam will escape. Open away from your face.

Variation: For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the sauce mixture.
