Very delicious. But make sure you let it get cold. It jsut doesn't taste the same if not.

I will indeed wait till the chill happens.

Hmm...never had egg salad sammiches like this one. May try it, but will lessen the meat stuff. :)

hmmmm....I'm thinking we could publish this as The Mingle Family Cookbook.

Hello; Red, I do go a little over board on the meat I should of Named it the sausage bacon egg salad sort of.

To me it does indeed taste wonderful. Hope you enjoy it dear lady. This is the very first time I have ever tried to make it like that. It did turn out to be a left over combination. Strange how necessarily, brings food together. I shared it with others, they to said cut back on the meat. I love bacon, maybe it should be with bacon only. Have a grand day indeed.

I was thinking the same thing. It does seem to be one sided, Would love to see recipes from over the Mingle world. I think it would bring people together in many ways. Hope you are indeed staying cool, the high desert can get hot hot hot.
Hugs. Ruth.

Thank you. Yes, it gets very hot and that usually makes my health issues worse. Thank goodness the beach is only an hour away and I have a nice cool, air conditioned apartment. Not to mention my office is VERY air conditioned...so I don't have to pay for that air 4 days a week!

That is so grand.
