I call these Mom’s BLT’s because that’s how she made them, with white bread. Back then white bread, usually Sunbeam or Wonder Bread, was used for our bread and butter, toast and sandwich buns. I like them this way sometimes.

I fried the bacon on my Traeger at 300 deg. grill level and took about 50 minutes. I had Romaine lettuce and some Tennessee tomatoes for the sandwiches. I had leftover potato salad too.

I have been seeing a recipe for custard cornbread I wanted to try. I took a shortcut though and used a cornbread mix with a cup of corn and poured the cup of cream in the middle instead of making from scratch. It took 35 minutes at 350 deg. It looked great out of the oven but I didn’t have any custard in the center. Mine came out just like cornbread. I will have to make one from scratch and see how it does.

I made up my BLT with mustard on the bottom, about 8 slices of bacon, two tomato slices and lettuce, with Mayo on the top bread. Sure tasted good, never get tired of bacon! The cornbread was not a flop though, the wife said the best cornbread I ever baked!

My Dad brought Sunbeam Bread to the market in the late 40's. it was "batter whipped" My mom came up with that slogan.

It became the number one selling white bread in the world at one time. It also stayed fresher longer because it had no holes

You could take a slice of Batter whipped bread & rip it down the middle in a straight line.

Don another great meal

great meal Don. It's no wonder we all enjoy the art of the cook when we reflect on the love we felt at the hands of our mothers in the kitchen.
