I make a recipe called Bean Stach-up's. It is a little quicker. You can toast your bread but don't have to. You can add extra bacon (broken pieces). For a quick dish I warm my bread slices in micro wave (keep in ref.) I use bean and bacon soup mixed with 1/4 cup water,you can add a little more if you want it a little creamer. Add your cooked bacon to the soup mixture spread over bread. I top each with slice of tomato,thin slice of onion and a slice of cheese. Place plate in microwave and heat till cheese melts about 1 min. You can mix mayonnaise with mustard and place a dollop on top if you choose. Just mix mayonnaise and mustard to taste but DO NOT add the mayonnaise till you are ready to serve as it curdles when heated. Will be spending a day out soon and this will be out dinner as it is quick and DH loves it. So do I. It is just the 2 of us and one can of soup is enough. I use 1 1/2 slices bread on each plate. Enjoy.

My Dad loved bean sandwiches! Left over homemade Boston baked beans on buttered bread! Pretty simple.

We called them Beanwiches: 1 slice of toast with leftover baked beans spread on it and a slice of cheese on top. The reheated beans would melt the cheese.

Nothing better than just a plain old baked bean sandwich with lettuce and a little Miracle whip on it.

Mine too! He might skip the bacon as he is a lazy kind of guy and wouldn't want to fry it up himself. Of course, he would certainly add the bacon if I had fried up a bunch. No likely as I really don't care for bacon, if I was going to eat that much fat I'd rather have cheese cake. This is the only time of the year that I buy bacon, nice big fat Jersey tomatoes are around and I make some delicious bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches. Sometimes I skip the lettuce but never the mayo.

my mother made us "depression sandwiches" but it was beans on bread that were broiled and when things were good we had a slice of cheese on top. Never had the bacon but we grew up in a fairly poor family. Just didn't know it

You guys amaze me with all the interesting facts that come with recipes. I love it! my mom grew up during the WAR in Germany. She never once fed us Mayonnaise. She said butter was a short commodity during the war so people used Mayo. She never wanted to be reminded of that again so I literally never tried it til in High School when I could buy a sandwich. Now imagine all these years later I love both. funny what memories are made by lifes struggles. Me? when I was so poor I had to decide how to make money stretch so the kids ate well? I ate steamed rice with a pinch of parmesean as it was cheaper than butter. that powdered cheese. I fed them instead. That was my staple for three days a week... never told them that. boy was my tail end a lot smaller too!

Don't have a name for this but while looking in fridge I noticed we had 2 hot dogs and some baked beans leftover. If I substituted the hot dogs for bacon it would be something DH would love. Could even skip the cheese and he'd love it.
