I’ve been trying to build up a little list of easy, fast, and delicious summer dinners that can be thrown together quickly. We tend to graze during the summer for dinner with most of us eating at different times throughout the evening. My favorite go-to dinners are of the sandwich variety during the hot months of the year but my family balks at eating PB&J’s every night. Bunch of whiners. So I have to be creative. This dinner came about purely by chance. I actually made the sauce for another meal and then realized I forgot to defrost the meat I needed to finish that dinner. But I had a brand new baggie of deli ham. And that’s how we ended up with this yummy dinner.
Ingredients:
2 lbs thinly sliced deli ham
3/4 cup water
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp yellow mustard
8 Deli rolls
1 bag of coleslaw mix
8 slices provolone cheese
Directions:
1. Combine water, ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and mustard in large saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over med-high heat then reduce to a simmer over low heat.
3. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add ham and gently mix.
5. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Serve on deli rolls topped with slice of provolone cheese and slaw.
You can leave off the cheese if you want. I actually preferred mine sans cheese but the kids all loved it with the cheese melted on top. If you’re really short on time you can even substitute store bought BBQ sauce and really toss this together in a hurry!
