Baked Bean SandwichesBetter Homes and Gardens Heritage Cook Book Copyright 1975
Mash 2 cups chilled baked beans; stir in 2 tablespoons chopped onion, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, and enough mayonnaise or salad dressing to make of spreading consistency (it doesn't take much mayo). Butter 8 slices sourdough or whole wheat bread; set aside. Spread 8 more slices of bread with bean mixture; top with lettuce. Cover with buttered bread.
I didn't have any good bread, just leftover hamburger buns. I left out the butter and lettuce.
Makes 8 sandwiches.

Everytime I've come across this recipe I'd tell myself that I need to remember it the next time I had leftover baked beans. My leftover baked beans are usually pretty thick, perfect for this. So, of course, this time my beans were nice and saucy which made the sandwich spread a bit looser than it should be ideally but the flavor was there. The baked beans recipe I use is very flavorful. I know it looks, um, interesting, but I really liked it. It's an inexpensive protein for lunches too.
So what is so special about this recipe? It's my 500th recipe! That's right, I've planned, prepared and documented 500 recipes out of about 180 cookbooks so far. Not too shabby.
So hey, I went through all that effort, you can leave a comment for me today even if you don't usually leave a comment. While you do that, I'll start working on the next 500 recipes.

I visit daily too--sorry for not leaving a comment. I am so burnt out on cooking that it is nice to have a place to go to for ideas. I used to live in Dillsburg--wish I had read your blog then--I would have loved a meet up. Keep up the great work. Sheila

Paula, congrats on 500 posts. Wow! I found your blog through a link at another and thoroughly enjoy your recipes and reviews. I, too, have the cookbook acquisition disease, although I am currently in remission. We just moved to Central PA and I made some serious purging of my collection before the move.
Best wishes for many more wonderful posts!
