Boston Baked Bean Sandwiches

Submitted by Member 610488

"Little known outside of Massachusetts, this recipe is a by-product of that state's long tradition of Saturday night baked bean suppers. During the days afterward, leftover beans are spread on buttered brown bread, and covered with cold cuts, and sliced cheese to make a delicious snack. Recipe is an adaptation of a sandwich served by friends over a weekend visit."

I made this for myself this morning for breakfast, heated up the baked beans in the microwave and toasted 2 slices of wholemeal, assembled it with the cheese on the top and popped it under the grill (broiler) and it was delicious and oh so filling. Thank you Celticevergreen for a great breakfast.
