Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp margarine
  • 1 loaf French white bread
  • 1 lb (450 g ) bacon slices
  • 1 jar of smooth peanut butter
  • 1 jar of grape jelly (US) or jam (UK)

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the margarine generously all over all sides of the loaf. Place it on a baking sheet in the oven.

2

Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a bit of oil until it is crisp, and drain it thoroughly on paper towels .

3

Remove the loaf from the oven when it is evenly browned, after approximately 15 minutes.

4

Slice the loaf lengthwise and hollow out the interior, leaving as much bread along the walls as desired.

5

Slather a thick layer of peanut butter in the cavity of the loaf and follow with another thick layer of grape jelly. Use lots of both.

6

Arrange the bacon slices inside the cavity, or, if desired, layer the bacon slivers between the peanut butter and jelly. Close the loaf, slice and eat.
