Step 1
Start by tossing the chopped ham, chili sauce, cola, celery, onion, dill pickle, and brown sugar into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to combine all the flavors. Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook for about an hour and a half. If you have more time, you can set it on low and let it simmer for around three hours instead. Once it’s all heated through and the flavors have melded together, scoop the mixture onto buns and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve this sandwich with crispy fries or a simple side salad to balance the rich flavors. A cold, refreshing drink like iced tea or lemonade pairs perfectly with the smoky and savory notes.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the bread from getting soggy and preserve the flavors.
