Smooth and Tasty Chicken Recipe

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven’s broiler and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat. Lay the bread slices out on a baking sheet. Spread a generous amount of baked beans with pork over each piece. Next, slice the luncheon meat into eight pieces and place one slice on top of the beans on each bread slice. Add a slice of cheese over the meat, then finish with a little ketchup and mustard on each. Pop the tray under the broiler and watch until the bread edges turn nicely toasted and the cheese is melted and golden. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
