Hot Ham Sandwiches

Ingredients:
20 slices bacon
3 pounds chipped chopped ham, shredded
2 onions, chopped
1/2 cup barbecue sauce (such as Heinz® Original BBQ Sauce)
1/2 cup bottled sweet chili sauce (such as Heinz® Premium Chili Sauce)
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish (such as Heinz® Sweet Relish)
1/2 cup chopped sweet pickle slices (bread-and-butter type)
32 slices Cheddar cheese
32 hamburger buns, split

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet,
and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally,
until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
Allow the bacon to cool, and chop.
Cook and stir the onion in the bacon grease until translucent.
Stir in the bacon, chipped ham, barbecue sauce,
and chili sauce until the mixture is well combined.
Transfer the ham mixture to a large bowl,
and stir in the pickle relish and chopped pickle.
Place about 1/4 cup of ham mixture on a bun,
and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese.
Close the sandwiches, wrap each in foil,
and bake in the preheated oven until hot
and the cheese has melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot.
