PITTSBURGH HAM BARBECUES
I grew up on these delicious, sweet, and tangy barbecue sandwiches made from chipped deli ham. This dish is a staple in Western Pennsylvania, although each family seems to have its own way of making them! It's a terrific last-minute meal. Chipped chopped ham is a pressed ham loaf sold at deli counters in the Pittsburgh area which is always chipped. If you can get Islay's Chipped Ham, that is the original and still the best for these sandwiches. Otherwise, just get any deli ham and have it chipped or shaved paper thin. Enjoy!

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!

HAM BARBECUE SANDWICHES PITTSBURGH STYLE
This is a recipe originally published in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for a regional favorite using local products, Heinz ketchup and Isaly's chipped ham, although shaved deli ham is a good substitute. This is a quick and easy crowd pleaser that can be doubled or tripled. This is a favorite on football Sundays watching our favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are great fresh or reheated.

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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the tastier the sandwiches will be. Look for fresh, flavorful ham, a good quality barbecue sauce, and soft, fluffy buns.
- Cook the ham properly. Ham should be cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is safe to eat and that it is tender and juicy.
- Use a flavorful barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is one of the most important ingredients in these sandwiches. Choose a sauce that has a good balance of sweetness, tanginess, and smokiness.
- Toast the buns. Toasting the buns will help them to hold up better to the saucy ham and cheese. It will also add a nice flavor and texture to the sandwiches.
- Assemble the sandwiches carefully. Layer the ham, cheese, and barbecue sauce on the buns in a way that ensures that each bite is packed with flavor.
Conclusion:
Pittsburgh-style ham barbecue sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With their smoky, tangy, and sweet flavor, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
