"When we were first married, 61 years ago, my husband asked me to make 'Bean Sandwiches' like his mother had made for him," says Rosalie Lippincott of Central City. "This quick, easy, good-tasting sandwich has proved to be a favorite of our children and grandchildren."

Bean Sandwiches

For each per person:

1 slice of bread, white or whole wheat, day old or toasted

Pork and beans, warmed and partially drained

Slice of cheese

1 or 2 strips of bacon, partially cooked

Cover each slice of bread with a layer of pork and beans. Top with a slice of cheese and 1 or 2 strips of bacon. Put under the broiler, and broil until nicely browned; watch carefully so they don't burn.

"Big appetites may need two of these sandwiches."
