Gary's Notes:

Grilled Peanut Butter sandwiches were my staple breakfast fare through my high school years. along with a cup or two of Hot Postum cereal drink. My folks dis-allowed my indulgence in coffee. Postum is still available on the grocer's shelf.

Two and at times three sandwiches were sufficient to carry me through to lunch time. Growing boys can eat.

The addition of cooked bacon makes it doubly good. Some folks enjoy smearing a little Hellmann's or Miracle Whip on theirs.

And -- There is no reason you couldn't add a little jelly or jam. Though I don't.

My preference is to serve it on Hearty Rye Bread. Sourdough Bread could be my second choice.

For many years this has also been my preference for a late night snack, accompanied by a hot cup of Chocolate Malt Ovaltine. Soothing on the tummy and the nerves.

Is it Bed Time yet?

 

Directions

1
Heat frying pan to medium low heat, add one pat butter. You want the Peanut Butter to warm through as the bread toasts.
2
Prepare sandwich by spreading an ample amount of Peanut Butter on one of the bread slices. Add the cooked Bacon Strips if desired.
3
Put sandwich together and butter the top of sandwich. Place in pan buttered side up. Move sandwich to butter and toast evenly.
4
Flip sandwich and toast other side, again move around some,reduce heat if it is toasting too fast.
5
Plate up. Cut in half. Grab you accompaniments -- And Enjoy, along with your favorite hot beverage.

Wow this almost sounds like the sandwich my husband makes . . . he uses hot pepper jelly, peanut butter, and a piece of olive and pickle bologna lunchmeat. He swears it is out of this world! Must be a guy thing! LOL!

I'm sending your recipe to my brother. he always eats peanut butter sandwiches for every meal if he can. By the way, we can't find Postum here anymore. Buy up what you can. I thought they stopped making it.

Christine, I still enjoy my Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches on Rye Bread. I don't drink Postum too much anymore but still have a jar in my cupboard. I think I can still get it here. I think it is a regional thing, but scattered in various areas of the country and may be found on the internet, as well. Happy Cooking, Gary

Haha Gary I've been reading thru your recipes and I'm excited to try several ( will keep you posted)! I've been making fried peanut butter sandwiches of all sorts for my son since he was a toddler.Now 14, His favorite is peanut butter banana....now I'll try the bacon also! He loves it so that once we went to his favorite diner Cap City and they had fried PB&J on the kids menu. He freaked out demanding I call the police because they "stole your recipe"!!!! Thanks for reminding me of this recipe and the great memory shared with my son!
