Directions
Turn on your oven’s broiler and moving the rack so it’s 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, cut the luncheon meat into 8 slices 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 keep an eye on it until the bread edges are nicely toasted and the cheese is melted and golden.
