Linda's Bean and Mayonnaise Sandwich (Sandwiches)

Linda's Busy Kitchen's Note:

One day my friend at work brought this in for lunch. I turned my nose up at it, and laughed as she told me how delicious it was... The next day she made me one, and made me try it... I was hooked on the first bite...Try it...I bet you will get hooked too! I would not use black beans on this recipe. I use Friends or Bush's baked beans.

Aunt Linda, this sandwich was one I was going to pass by, but I decided that if you made it, it must be good ,so Cassie made us one and when I got done with it, I had her make me up another one! I put a nice slice of vadalia onion on top of the beans, and man oh man was it good! This is a new favorite for us, and since it's so good for you, we will have them again very soon! Thank you for another delicious sandwich for us to enjoy! Mike

Delicious, cheap, and versatile! Thanks for sharing. Manda wondered about the nutritional value, so here are some facts: 1/2 cup of beans provides about 8 grams of fiber, 30-40% of our folic acid requirements, and they are high in protein. The bread actually provides the starch necessary to make this meal a complete protein. Just be sure to use low-sodium beans. Leftovers of Treebeard's Red Beans and Rice (http://www.food.com/recipe/treebeards-red-beans-and-rice-121498) are PERFECT for this sandwich.

This was delicious! Because I am watching the waistline, I did make a few alterations in order to avoid using the mayonnaise. Instead, I used fat free cottage cheese I had pureed in a food processor (If you haven't discovered this low cal version of "mayonnaise", TRY IT NOW.) I spread the inside of a Napa cabbage leaf the mixture, added some red onion on top, and also plopped on there a dollop of hummus. YUM. Thanks!
