I shared a picture of a peanut butter & bacon sandwich on facebook and my friends freaked out

[TeamPooka]

Actually it was a grilled PB&B sandwich.
My mom made them for me as a kid and I always loved em and still eat it regularly but hadn't shared a pic until last night.
Apparently none of them had heard of it before and it blew their minds.

PB&B used to be such a popular flavor combination that Skippy made bacon flavored PB.

Am I alone in loving this awesome sandwich?

[TeamPooka]

6. I've converted many over the years. It only takes one bite and hooked on it.

if you like PB and if you like bacon then you will like this.

[PJMcK]

8. Wasn't there a post recently...

...that asked the rhetorical question, "What doesn't go with bacon?"

There isn't much!

[TeamPooka]

25. I don't know anything that doesn't go with it.

4. Man that looks tasty!

What cheese do you prefer?

[TeamPooka]

5. no cheese on this. just Peanut butter and crisp bacon, but grilled like a cheese sandwich

[Louis1895]

13. D'oh!

Of course, no cheese. What was I thinking!

[Sentath]

27. I dunno, I just might grate some fresh parm over 'em.

A fluffy white dusting of microplaned parmesan wavering in the warmth of the freshly toasted bread

11. You really got an even toasted surface to your sandwich. I imagine it would be good...never tried it

I like peanut butter and sweet pickle chips.

[TeamPooka]

22. That's good too. have you Ever deep fried them? Delicious SH

[Frustratedlady]

24. No, but I've been listening to the interviews on MSNBC, tonight, and haven't had supper...

I'm going to try your peanut butter/bacon sandwich.

12. Just like Elvis but it needs banana maybe to be like Elvis

The peanut butter and banana sandwich, or peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich, sometimes referred to as an Elvis sandwich or simply the Elvis, consists of toasted bread slices with peanut butter, sliced or mashed banana, and sometimes bacon. Wikipedia

[TeamPooka]

23. That's a good idea. I made one with a Brioche hamburger bun a couple of weeks ago

It was awesome

[Squinch]

15. PB&B is good, but a bacon and jelly sandwich is the food of the gods.

[msongs]

16. pb, mayo, lettuce, good bread. pickle variety optional. nt

[Cousin Dupree]

17. Peanut butter and bread and butter pickle sandwiches. Don't knock it till you try it. Yum.

[sweetloukillbot]

29. I've got a friend who does PB, Pickle, Bacon & Mayo

Another friend tried a spin w/ PB, Jalapeno, Spam & Sriracha Mayo.

I luvs me some PB & Bacon, but those are a bridge too far.

18. I've looked all the way through this thread

and I don't see a single combination that seems bizarre. My kind of people!

[Aristus]

19. My local hangout for pub trivia used to serve a grilled PB&J.

They closed about a year ago.

I miss that sandwich...

[patricia92243]

20. I've never heard of it but it sure looks good. Have he ingredients and will try it tomorrow

[GeorgeGist]

21. My wife introduced them to me 50 years ago ...

still one of my favorites. Sometimes I splurge and throw on a fried egg.

[Snotcicles]

26. Our version was slightly modified. Peanut Butter Bacon and Miracle Whip on toasted bread. nt

[Danascot]

28. Ham & cheese & PB

is awesome. Coincidentally I just finished one a few minutes before I read your post. (Great minds, etc)

[sweetloukillbot]

30. Peanut butter with a sharp cheddar or colby is another fave nt

[samnsara]

31. well i tried PB and banana toast and it was pretty darned good!

..thank you elvis...thank you very much..

[procon]

32. Butter the bread, or use bacon fat? nt

[TeamPooka]

34. THIN layer of butter on the bread after assembling the sandwich then a hot pan for the grilling

most people will use too much butter on the bread and it gets soggy or prevents the bread from browning when they make a grilled cheese etc
The secret is to lightly butter the bread but every part of the surface, then get it on a hot pan
A thin layer is absorbed by the bread so the bread grills, not the butter.

33. I would try it
