As a Pittsburgh native, this is exactly the way Ham Barbecue should taste. This would be one of my favorite dishes my mom made when I was younger (paired with pierogies of course). I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe.
I used half ketchup/half barbeque sauce added in some fresh minced garlic and I spread garlic butter on the kaiser rolls THEN I toasted them. My family LOVED these sandwiches. Simple and delicious.
This is the same as my mom's recipe except for 2 ingredients. We use Heinz (Pittsburgh) Chili Sauce and we don't use yellow mustard. The amount of vinegar is 2T and 1 to 2T of brown sugar. We like them sour. I must say that this recipe is the closest that I've seen! I grew up 30min north of the 'burgh.
I grew up on these. Can't get chipped ham here in VA so everytime we go "home" I usually bring back about 10 pounds (of Islay's) and keep it in the freezer to make my sandwiches. Can't watch a Steeler Super Bowl without them!
Just what I was looking for didn't add the optional relish but followed the recipe exactly otherwise and these were great!
I am originally from Pittsburgh so when I couldn't reach my mother to get her recipe I decided to try this one. The flavors are very similar but this sauce is thicker. Also its very important to use Isleys chopped or "chipped" ham if your region sells it. The ham makes this sandwich! My mothers recipe is quite different though she uses the onion and butter 1 bottle of Heinz chili sauce fill the chili bottle with water 1 tablespoon of vinegar and a 1 tablespoon of sugar. So the only reason I gave it this rating was because of the thickness was hoping for a thinner sauce.
Very good! Being from Pittsburgh I have the luxury of buying Isaly's Ham Barbecue Sauce lol so I've never made my own but thought I would give it a shot today. This was super simple to throw together and I actually had everything on hand which made it extra awesome. My family really enjoyed this and I will definately be using this recipe again! Thanks for sharing.:)
This was way to sweet I ended up tossing it in the trash because no one would eat it sorry it just was not for us
Very yummy I did not add all that butter and i thought it was great i am from Pa and have never had this but yummy
