Peanut butter bacon sandwhich

[BigTines]

K so I would love to hear how you guys do it exactly. Do you pre make them and put them in zip lock bags? Or do u bring a jar of PB and honey packets and make them in the field? Do I use bread or bagels? Do u toast the bread? Do they sweat in zip lock bags?

Also how long do they last?

Never really seen exactly how to do this so I would love to hear from the experts!

[PlateauNDN]

Just depends for me. I'll bring them pre-made in ziploc bags and I also bring wheat bread loaf, jars and knife in case a little more snack is needed. Never had issues either way. I hate when I forget and lean against the pack and flatten it though. Experiment with what you like,  it's all trial and error.

I assume we're talking about mountain man sandwiches for backpacking.

Bagels, peanut butter, bacon and honey. Bread won't hold up although when the honey soaks through the bread, oh man, that is amazing.
Pre-made in ziplock bags.
Squeeze the air out of them.
Sweat has not been an issue for me.
They last at least 5 days.
They're amazingly delicious.

One suggestion I got a while back on here was to use tortillas instead of bread. They hold up better.

I always pre make them. Either at home or at the truck. I mix peanut butter, ( I prefer chunky) Honey and some maple syrup together. If at home I do it in a bowl.

Bagels or bread will both work. But if you want them for more than a day then use bagel of your choice.

Spread both sides of the sandwhich and heap bacon in the middle, warm bacon is preferred as it will melt together nicely. Keep several days. I usually eat them quick though because they are good and weigh a fair bit.

Bagels, toasted so the bread doesn't absorb it as much, and then make them in advance and vacuum seal them. I made them 3 weeks in advance this year and they were still great.

Toast the bagel, spread peanut butter and honey, and sandwich the bacon. I put them in ziplocks and they lasted 3 weeks before I ate them all this year.

This is what I do.  Much prefer tortillas!

Couldn't be said better.

I make them up like this ,
 I prefer bagels, I mix peanut butter,honey,jam together then put into a freezer bag and use like a piping bag I put as much mix on both halves then add 6 cut in 1/2 strips of bacon ( I use my KC style) lightly press together thin into the freezer for a couple hours and onto the vac sealer ! I do up 12-18 at a time   I just had one that was frozen from last years Idaho hunt and was just like it was made yesterday. I have had no problems with them being unrefrigerated for 10+ days vac sealed

How have I never heard of this before!   

Off I go to the store...

[Chad Osterholtz]

My brother does peanut butter and ham... I can never bring myself to try it but he says it's amazing

  tortilla wraps are the way to go

[BigTines]

Awesome
Thanks for the replies everyone! I will try the vacuum sealer.

I was also thinking of doing tortilla, Italian dry salami and cheese together. Anyone tried this or know if the salami will stay good for 4-5 days?

Sounds like the bacon is no prob for lasting a week or so!

[BigTines]

Also curious as to what u guys do for breakfast? Thinking granola and powder milk...add water. I have mountain house for dinner so set there.

[TriggerMike]

Put them in a little tupperware and that will keep them from getting smushed.

I'd be more concerned about the cheese being good 4 or 5 days than that dry salami. I think if it's cool enough it shouldn't be an issue.

Use creamed honey, it doesn't soak through the bread

I buy it at a bakery in Diamond Lake.  So much better!

[fishngamereaper]

I switched up this year and have been using tortilla's, mixing peanut butter with nutella, then add bacon bits and craisins.  Its dang good.

Butt-hole Sandwich, great trail food!

I prefer a toasted bagel but the tortillas are easier to pack. Surprisingly they are still good even when using peppered bacon.

I have had no problem for 4-5 days. I use the individual packaged cheddar sticks, but don't know if that matters?
Did the bacon/peanut butter on toasted wheat and couldn't filter enough water to choke it down, but might have been the toasted wheat? May need to try with a bagel. My go-to has been salami on an everything bagel with a fast food mustard pack. Just put the mustard packet in the bag and apply before consuming. I use ziplocks because they are lighter and smaller than my vacuum seal bags and seem to last for a week or better.

Butt hole sandwich.. yep.  I do the same. PB, bacon, lots of honey and vac pack... watch the bagle hole as you vac pack and you will learn why its a butt hole sandwich.   Total weight of each averages 8 oz ea.  This is heavy , but total calories is over 800  hitting the target of 100 cal per oz.  And its grab n go, no cooking. Throw em in the freezer after vac packing and they keep for a long time.

I made a few this year with tortillas, PB, bacon, Honey. Seriously I was not a fan...... Surprised me as I like all of them separately, but didn't like my concoction. Maybe i'll try with bagels??

And I'm not a picky eater

    yes!

[Stickerbush]

I have my own version

Lightly toasted white bagel, spread almond butter not print butter, get thick cut bacon the kind that is more chewy than crispy when cooked. Lastly I put some banana slices on there as well. Slap them together then vacuum seal them with foodsaver to keep them tight and freeze. When I'm ready to go I throw a couple in the pack or keep a few in the cooler. They are probably good for a few days unrefrigerated
