A savory sandwich featuring crispy bacon, melted cheese, and fresh tomatoes on toasted bread, perfect for a quick, comforting meal with rich flavors and creamy textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place fried bacon on the untoasted side of the bread.
- Mix grated Velveeta cheese with Miracle Whip and spread on top of the bacon.
- Place the sandwich under a broiler until the cheese is melted.
- Serve with sliced tomatoes on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting the Velveeta with shredded cheddar for a sharper flavor. If you prefer a healthier option, use turkey bacon instead of traditional fried bacon. Make sure to toast the bread until golden to add extra crunch. For a bit of heat, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Jiffy Sandwich with a side of crispy potato chips or a light salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with sliced tomatoes on top, adding freshness to the dish. You can also enjoy it alongside a warm bowl of soup for a comforting lunch or dinner option.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten fresh, but if you need to reheat, place it in a toaster oven or under a broiler for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture without making it soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the sandwich ahead of time?
While it's best served fresh, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. Cook the bacon and mix the cheese with Miracle Whip, then assemble the sandwich just before serving. This ensures the bread stays crispy and the cheese melts perfectly under the broiler.
What type of bread works best for this sandwich?
A sturdy bread like sourdough or whole grain works best for this sandwich as it holds up well against the fillings. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can use whole wheat or gluten-free bread without compromising taste.
Can I add other toppings to the sandwich?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your sandwich by adding avocado slices, lettuce, or even a fried egg for extra richness. For those who enjoy a bit of sweetness, caramelized onions can also be a delightful addition.
