Ingredients

• 1 lb sliced deli ham
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 4 sandwich buns
• 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup pickles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir thoroughly and heat for 5 minutes until the mixture is warm and slightly thickened.

Step 2

Add the sliced deli ham to the saucepan and toss to coat evenly. Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through.

Step 3

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Spread softened butter evenly on the cut sides of the sandwich buns. Toast the buns, butter-side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun while the bread is still warm to allow the cheese to soften slightly.

Step 5

Top the cheese with a generous portion of the warm barbecue-coated ham.

Step 6

Add a layer of thinly sliced red onion and pickles (if using) on top of the ham for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Place the top half of the bun over the sandwich fillings and gently press down.

Step 8

Serve the Tangy Barbecue Ham Sandwiches immediately with your favorite side dishes, like coleslaw or potato chips.
