Back in the day(long, long ago), my dad used to make these for us for Saturday lunches and we loved them! Instead of mustard, we used horseradish and ketchup and usually mom's homemade bread! Ahhhhhhh, nostalgia! Thanks for the reminder! -
This is very similar to the Boston Beanwich I used to get at the Boston Beanery Restaurant & Tavern, somewhere that Chef #822958 has obviously never been. What a food snob! -
This tasted great on rye bread with the cheddar. I think I might try it with a dark bread as well. It worked perfectly for a vegetarian who came to lunch, but I think I would like to try with a slice of ham. Great idea! -
Made these today for lunch and liked it very much. I used rye bread, a Cheddar cheese and very little mustard. We liked it a lot and I would make it again with left over beans. -
Oh come on. This is gross and is not a New England classic.

I'm originally from New Jersey, but moved to Ohio for 2 years, and now moved back to the fabulous Garden State!.I love jersey better, but Columbus was nice too.So now I'm a Jersey/Midwest Maven but I like the name so I'm keeping it lol :). I love to cook, always have ever since I was little and would help my mom and grandma cook:) Hope to share some of my favorite recipes here and find new favorites too!
I love dogs and sadly lost my baby Brownie(cute chubby chihuahua) last March, but his spirit and love will always be near me.
