Having a crowd over for a summer get-together? Sometimes cooking outside isn’t an option. Slow Cooker Barbecued Ham is a simple way to prepare enough for a gathering without having to do much work. Actually, it takes only about 10 minutes hands-on time to get this luscious sandwich filling going in the slow cooker. Unlike pulled pork, there’s no meat to shred – a few stirs during cooking is all the additional hands-on work that is needed. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.

Although Homemade BBQ Buns are very good, with the dough easily made in the automatic bread machine, it’s okay to use store bought buns if you’re in a hurry. Accompany these great ham sandwiches with your favorite coleslaw (we like it on the sandwiches to add crunch), baked beans, potato chips, and pickles and olives. Of course it won’t hurt to offer extra salads as well as cookies and homemade ice cream for dessert.

1. Place the ham in a 2-3 quart slow cooker.
