Pittsburgh Ham Barbecues Food

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!

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.

I've seen a couple variations of this one the 'zaar, but this is the way we do it in The Burgh, and it's a classic. They're great for picnics and can be kept warm in a crock pot.

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.

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!

Growing up in Pittsburgh this was a sandwich staple. Anyone who grew up here and remembers Islay's -- this is as close to the original as it gets. Serve on hamburger buns or your favorite hard roll.
