Instructions

Preheat your oven to a moderate 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Incorporate the ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Gently fold in the chipped ham and cook until the sauce is bubbling and the ham is thoroughly heated, around 5 to 7 minutes.
While the ham mixture simmers, warm the kaiser rolls in the preheated oven until lightly toasted, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Evenly distribute the ham mixture among the toasted kaiser rolls and generously top with pickle relish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
