==Particulars==
Baked bean sandwiches have probably become popular because they are very cheap to produce, are reasonably filling, and are extremely quick to prepare. Baked beans are also being more widely regarded – and marketed – as being "healthy" (although this fact is [[baked beans#Health|disputed]]) increasing their popularity.

Place of originUnited States
Main ingredientsBread, baked beans

The baked bean sandwich is a sandwich composed of baked beans between two slices of bread, which may include garnishes such as lettuce and toppings such as mayonnaise or ketchup.[1]

Recipes for a baked bean sandwich can be traced from as early as 1909. One book entitled Cooking For Two by Janet McKenzie Hill suggests such a recipe as a "substitute for meatless cooking", and is a much more elaborate sandwich compared to its most common manifestation today.[2]

Many early recipes describe essentially the same product that has become popular today, however in addition they incite elaborate additions of garnish and dressing.[2] Hill suggests:

Butter two slices of Boston brown bread; on one of these dispose a heart-leaf of lettuce holding a teaspoon of salad dressing; above the dressing set a generous tablespoon of cold, baked beans, then another lettuce leaf and dressing; then finish with a second slice of bread, a tablespoonful of beans, a floweret of cauliflower, and a teaspoonful of dressing over the cauliflower.[2]

The Boston-area version of the sandwich eschews toppings and garnishes, being composed simply of baked beans between two slices of Boston brown bread.[3]
