Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Impossible Pie (1984)

My love of the Bisquick Impossible Pie has been documented on this here blog. And the BLT is in my top 5 sandwiches, so I was thrilled to come across this ad:

What a genius idea to combine the two!

 

Damn thing got rather browned since I used a toaster oven (I refuse to put on my real oven when it gets over 80 and I made this back over the summer)

The finished version didn’t look too bad.

I tried to get a slice like in the advertisement:

The center is basically swiss cheese (and mayo because I think the bacon floats to the top….? But the edges taste like bread, so that’s where you get your true BLT-action. That is if you get to the end and haven’t eaten all of the B the L and the T.

This was truly an instance when the execution couldn’t match the fabulous idea.

I would NOT make this again.

  • The idea was so promising! (BLTs are my favorite sandwiches, tied with corned beef Reubens.) That oven shot is giving off German Pancake vibes.

  • Thanks for the memories. My mom made a lot of Impossible Cheeseburger Pies when I was a kid. I feel like sticking to bacon and cheese might have made this come out better - or you could make an Impossible Bacon Cheeseburger Pie!

  • I used to work at the local Deaf School where they served TacoBake, which was bisquick, topped with cooked taco meat, some mayo/sour cream/ cheese delight, then diced peppers and onions. I bet 100% someone scaled up a back of the box recipe from the 80's.
