Bacon BBQ Sandwiches

 

Bacon BBQ Sandwiches – this easy and hearty sandwiches are a nice change from traditional sloppy joes!

I found this recipe for BBQ sandwiches in an old cookbook and modified slightly. It is a great summer meal because it is prepared in a skillet, so it doesn’t heat up your oven. And it is so easy, you can have dinner on the table in just minutes!

It is a little bit like Sloppy Joe’s, but my boys liked it better. For some reason they aren’t big fans of Sloppy Joe’s, but they did like these. Probably because of the bacon! 🙂

You can serve them on hamburger buns, but I thought that the English muffins were really good. Make sure you toast them for best flavor.
