This is a well-known and well-liked sandwich in the Dorothy-Jack household. I found it in a magazine before I was married. I made it for my Wold family and it went over like a lead balloon. They even laughed at it, but when I made it for Jack, it became his favorite sandwich, and our children all liked it too. It is a quick and hardy sandwich, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients for 6 servings

• 9 slices of bread
• Large can of baked beans
• 18 slices of bacon
• 9 slices of cheese

Steps

1. Toast one side of bread in the oven. Cover the untoasted side of bread with a generous portion of baked beans which have been heated. Layer two slices of crisply fried bacon slices broken in half over the beans and cover this with a slice of cheese. Broil in the oven until cheese melts. Jack would eat three of these for his serving.
