Pb, B, and L (Peanut Butter, Bacon, and Lettuce) Sandwich (A BLT

"When I was a kid, I was more picky about eating tomatoes on my sandwiches, and when my mom and younger sister and I got together to make up BLT's, I would sometimes leave off the tomato. Somewhere I learned that bacon was tasty with peanut butter, and so I started to eat bacon with peanut butter (I also eat bacon with maple syrup), and thus was born this new type of sandwich. Peanut butter (instead of mayo), lettuce, and bacon, on toast, and sandwiched together. I know it sounds a bit odd, but it's really yummy! I just wrote this out to serve 1 person, 1 sandwich. I like lots of bacon, and all my measurements are estimates, so please adjust accordingly to your taste/needs. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Although I should be eating turkey bacon instead of regular bacon, I have not yet tried this with turkey bacon."

  1. This is bizarrely TASTY!! Heehee. I actually used Sharon123's recipe#318406 for a vegan version of this great sandwich. Think I used a bit too much pb, but it was still so yummy. My mom, hesitant at first, liked it just as much. I'm sure we'll have these again. Thanks!
     
  2. This was yummy lunch today. I will say that the bacon seemed to get a little bit lost in the peanut butter, but it was still very enjoyable. I do prefer a traditional BLT, but this was tasty and fun to try. I never would have thought of putting this combo together. Thanks so much for posting! Made for PRMR Tag.
     
  3. My whole family loves this sandwich. I mean the whole family aunts, uncles, bothers, sisters, cousins, grandchildren... This sandwich has been a family favorite for over 50 years as I am now in my 60's. THATBOBBIEGIRL posted a similar sandwich in April of 2002. Recipe #25625. My sister loves peanut butter and bologna with mayonnaise. Don't know if that sandwich is on Zaar, she says it should be! AHHH...This comes close singmeasleep posted Recipe #100004 We think that peanut butter should be in a category of it's own. Thanks for posting this and sharing. Perhaps it will be a favorite for other generations of families as it has been for mine.
     
  4. I enjoyed this little sandwich. I wasn't sure that the lettuce enhanced the sandwich but it didn't hurt it. My preference is PB & J with a couple slices of bacon but I did like this as well. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Newest update March 28, 2008; I am so grateful and excited. A wonderful, generous, kind anonymous person gifted me with PM and I can't wait to use all the features. Thank you! I might add a couple notes or links to my page here such as forums I frequent, fave searches, and helpful info. Update March 2008: I was given the opportunity to join my very first recipe swap (I added the banner below, thanks Um Safia) This swap was really fun, interesting, and helpful. Lots of great recipes to choose from and lots of exposure for my own. I thought I'd update this a bit. It's April of 2007 already (wow!) and I might have written the stuff below at least a year ago, and longer. I live in AZ, with a roommate and a nice boyfriend. My roommate has only tried my cooking once, but my bf, bless his heart, tries really hard to tolerate it, lol! He's a good cook in his own right, but me, I'm still a newbie cook at heart. I still enjoy 'zaar and sometimes spend hours and hours on here, as it's still friendly, helpful, and interesting. :) Also, this is late in saying, but I'm supposed to be on an IBS-safe diet consisting of no dairy, egg yolks, caffeine, red meat, too much fat, everything I love, etc.... so I'm working on it, it's taking me years and years, but I've incorporated this kind of diet into my other eating, and if my tummy gets mad at me, well, I only have me to blame. :/ I've been married for almost two years and it's the first time I get to really cook for someone other than myself. (Hehe, I signed up with here not too long after I wrote this, now I'm separated - not because of my cooking lol - but surprisingly found myself again, acting as 'housewife'.) I'm not a great cook, but I do follow after my mother, who tends to estimte her ingredients and taste as she goes, but she and my sister are two of the best cooks I know. The best rule of thumb for seasonings is always add too little, you can always add more, but can't always take away if there's too much. I mostly try other recipes I find, but now and then experiment with whatever I have available if I can't get to the store or am broke, and sometimes come up with pretty good recipes. I also have a hard time cooking usually, it takes me longer than most people as I am legally blind and have no depth perception so sometimes it's hard for me to measure and prepare food. Any of the recipes I post might be estimated unless otherwise stated. Sorry for the inconvenience. :) I found this place doing one of my recipe searches. It looks like a fun place to get recipes. Take care all and happy cooking! :) <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view¤t=curriedcurrajongs.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/curriedcurrajongs.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/NewZealandFlax.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/blancpages/recipes%20for%20Zaar/7016b640MY3ChefsShrunken.jpg"> Helpful Link for Cookbook help: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=139810
