Bean Sandwiches

We make bean sandwiches....they are one of Al's favorites. Only, I toast the bread first, and broil some of the bacon. After I put it together, broil it again until bacon is done and then turn broiler off and bake for about 10 minutes (or however much time I have). Just told Judy that I thought the "Bean Sandwich" came from Aunt Milly when Buzz got hurt. She was taking care of us and fixed those for us.....Introduced them to one of our friends and they add pepperoni to the sandwich to jazz it up.

Grandma Halverson's little black book

Grandma Halverson had this small black book, smaller than a 3 x 5 index card. It is filled with a variety of items that she felt important including recipes, a couple of saying, chicken feed scratch, birthdays, anniversaries and addresses.

" A drinking driver never thinks. A thinking driver never drinks."

Jr. Graduate card: Here is what you have all ready done. And here's what you will do. On coming days as you work and plan to make your dreams come true. Congratulations. The world has need of a Graduate like you.

The Bean Sandwich Recipe:

Cover a slice of bread with butter. Cover with backed (baked) beans and on top put on grated cheese and bacon and back (bake) in oven about 350 and back (bake) till cheese is melted and bacon crisp.

Mom always added slices of sweet pickle and broiled the sandwich. When I started thinking about it, I realized that the cook stove that Grandma used probably didn't have a broiler. SO, I am concluding that Grandma Halverson either made the bean sandwich or just copied it in her little black book. I make one for myself every once in awhile. I know Joan and Den usually make them. Does anyone else carry on the tradition of the "Bean Sandwich".

Grandma's spelling wasn't the best. Backed for bake, Jone for Joan, Witch for which, etc. I sometimes wonder how much schooling she was able to have in her youth.
