Ladies and gentlemen…Elvis has left the building. With this Peanut Butter, Banana and Bacon Monte Cristo.
Let’s talk peanut butter, banana and bacon, y’all. It was Elvis’ favorite combination, and I assure you, once you taste this show stopper sandwich, it’ll be yours too!
I’ve been having so much fun coming up with peanut recipes during my month long tour with The Georgia Peanut Commission! And, any excuse I have to combine bacon and peanut butter— I mean, hello! Adding peanut butter to your morning routine is an awesome way to get your day started because it’s packed with protein and fiber, which means you’ll stay fuller longer and won’t be as inclined to hit the vending machine mid-morning! If you want to reduce the calorie count, substitute turkey bacon and don’t sprinkle the powdered sugar. A little drizzle of honey would be sublime. Just sayin’.
