FEEDS: 2

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• 4 slices bread, your choice
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 4-5 T. baked beans
• 4 slices American cheese
• olive oil

LET'S COOK

Place two slices of the bread on a cutting board. Place a slice of the Swiss on the bread slices and a slice of the American cheese on the Swiss.

Using a fork, so extra sauce is left behind, divide the baked beans and spread on the American cheese on the sandwiches you've started. Lay another slice of American on the beans, then cover that with the remaining Swiss slices. Top with the last 2 slices of bread.

Place a heavy gauge saute pan on a medium high burner. Drizzle with some olive oil to lightly wet the surface. Lay the two sandwiches in the oil, lightly drizzle more oil on the sandwich tops and cook until both sides are nicely browned. Remove from the pan, cut in half and serve.

MORE IDEAS:

I prefer using B&M Baked Beans. They're whole beans in a nice sauce, real New England style.

For additional punch, slip some cooked bacon strips on top of the baked beans before laying on the last Swiss and American slices. Ham isn't a bad addition either.

Serve this sandwich with sweet pickle wedges or Bread and Butter pickles.
