Quick to put together and has a sweet but tangy taste. I did add some Head Country season salt and decreased the water by half. The ham will release some water as it cooks. It is good, but what I love the best is being able to put in the the crock while I am running errands, then it is ready when we get in.

I used leftover spiral ham, and thought this recipe was addicting. Sweet and tangy!

I too grew up in the region where these sandwiches were popular. This recipe was ok, but I have had better. I'll be looking for other recipes to try to duplicate the taste from my childhood.

Unfortunately, this really was not great at all.

I am from Western Pennsylvania and this is a Pittsburgh staple. We use chipped chopped ham. I would coursely chop it again once you get it chipped from the deli. Two pounds makes an awful lot of meat for your sandwiches.

I HALVED THIS RECIPE AS IT DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THE WHOLE 2#. JUST TO TRY THE RECIPE. I WOULDN'T ADD THAT MUCH WATER. MAYBE ONLY 1/4 CUP TO A HALF RECIPE. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD AND I USED ECKRICH HAM OFF THE BONE DELI SLICED THIN. IT WAS OKAY BUT NOTHING TO RAVE ABOUT.

I too remember this recipe. Though when in a pinch for time for a fast lunch/meal I would just use chipped chopped ham and store bought BBQ sauce. Heat on the stove.Not as good as this original!Laura

My mom used to make this using chopped ham ( which is what we refer to as "chip chop" ham in Northeast Ohio) and the tangy sauce is oh, so good.
