Bacon originated from Europe. Most European countries make all desserts like pies and pastries (strudel) with apples so apple pie isn't unique to America either.
made this but instead finished the sandwiches in a panini press and added a slice of cheese to the sandwiches. words cannot describe the epicness of this sandwich. definitely something to have on rare occasions though lol.
Rob Lipsett WTF???!!! DID I JUST RUN INTO A ROB LIPSETT COMMENT ON TH-cam??!!! LMAOOO WHAT WERE YOU DOING HERE??? WHAT AM I DOING HERE??? I'M CURRENTLY ON A DIET LOL I GOT SO MANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I WAS FOR REAL GOING TO CHEAT ON MY DIET WITH THE ELVIS SANDWICH BUT I RAN INTO ROBS COMMENT NOW I'M HAVING 2ND THOUGHTS LOL THIS DUDE IS MOTIVATING ME EVEN WHEN I LEAST EXPECT IT & WHEN I NEED HIM THE MOST. I LOVE IT!!!!!! EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK AT HIS VIDEOS. THEY'RE TRULY INSPIRING.
Sometimes I eat a banana and chunky peanut butter with toast for breakfast and that taste great and keeps me full right till afternoon coffee break or till supper.I'll try it with bacon this weekend.but what I found what taste real good is banana bread and chunky peanut butter.
Don't really know about this recipe, like you said - gotta try it to know for sure! Anyway, I really feel like I have to give some credit to the people behind the scenes - I love the new studio and especially the lighting. You really stand out from the background, the green from outside the window compliments the warm interior. The kitchen looks so domestic and beautiful, I really like it. And Donal - great video, as always. Been following and cooking your recipes for quite some time now and was never disappointed with the results. Keep up the amazing work!
PB&J is an American thing. He's from Ireland. When my sister studied in Vienna, she told us that peanut butter is actually pretty difficult to find. But now that he's moving to LA, I bet he'll get a chance to try them!
+Tori Provencio I'm from Ireland and I can honestly say anybody I have asked has said they have not tried it and sounds disgusting personally I love pbj especially toasted on a gorge foreman grill
Jason Bell of course...and what about some sugar based sauce and some sugar cooked onions?Oh,i almost forgot about the peanut butter and nutella milkshake to go together with it.With this meal you have a creative way of suicide ;)
I like the way you use the paper towel to drain the excess fat of the bacon and then drench the sandwich in the bacon grease with added butter to it...wow!
So many variations on this..I as told it was a french toast with banana and peanut butter and that is what I still call an Elvis. It is amazing btw, 2 slices of bread, some peanut butter and some banana...egg batter and fry in butter. Drizzle with ... what ever you drizzle (or sprinkle) with.
Man oh man. I"ve clearly been missing something because I made it today for the first time out of curiosity and oh MAN the King, KNEW food like no other . I used the bread, peanut butter bacon, bananas, butter obviously but I also used the bacon grease to add to the taste to fry. The best sandwich I've ever made foreal. I made 2 but could only eat one ! I keep saying hmm hmmm hmmm.😂 I know it was only a sandwich but I'm just so glad I made it. LONG LIVE THE KING 👑 #elvis
Speaking of the King, my uncle often roasted my aunt about her lame cooking. But one time he inexplicably declared, "This food is fit for a king, honey!" Glowing, she left the room for a couple of minutes to "powder her nose." He then put his plate on the floor and quietly called their dog over, "Here, King . . . this is for you, boy!" What a couple they were . . . RIP.
I'm not from the States but when I visited some years ago I ate the pb & j all the time. It's ridiculously good. Especially with boysenberry jelly and a crunchy peanutbutter that's unsweetened.
Elvis ate this, then went to try and have a chit, he pushed so hard with constipation that it blew a hole in his Aorta and fell over, all in a "Jiffy".
Another trick you can do is to mix up the sliced banana, break up the bacon into bits, and mix the bacon bits into the banana mush. Easier for spreading, and you get a nice distribution of banana and bacon ;)
Elvis liked the bacon well done and crispy and he liked the bread toasted first before putting on the peanut butter, and he preferred the crunchy peanut butter. He also liked to have melted butter added to the bacon fat before frying the sandwich.
i have discussed this sandwich with my cousin in England who was really turned off. I had to remind her that rather than putting a greasy English rasher in the sandwich, we North Americans fry our bacon until it's very crisp. That's the secret. The sandwich is out of this world and best accompanied with a root beer float💥
Elvis didn't have bacon in his. There is a documentary that includes his cook on BBC. Slightly healthier but he did get it fried in butter. I just toast 1 bread, add peanut butter and sliced banana.
We were just talking about this the other day! I immediately thought peanut butter french toast with bacon, grilled banana and maple syrup.. i have to do this now.
So after 2hours of muay thai this is what you will call unhealthy? This is prolly one of the most hormonal balanced anticatabolic snacks ever made. Try it you might feel actual really recovered vs the greens with pastas and chickens
not really bacon and peanut butter is keto friendly, also banana are good carbs, and as bread make sure use whole wheat with no sugar or fructose. at the end depends on what bread you use....
You forgot to fry the bananas, and actually the sandwhiches he would eat more than likely had plantains in them, but that part I'm not sure of, only reason I say plantains is cus restaurants that have this item where I live have the big bakers bread and they use those long banana looking fruits which are called plantains. Ah ok, so yes, Elvis' restaurant used what's called a Fool's Gold Loaf Italian Bread, which I kind of figured It had to be large, because the way the bannanas are cut up is like long ways. I prefer it without the bacon, but yeah, very famous sandwhich.
I just made this sandwhich. I added crunchy peanut butter and bacon to one side and crunchy peanut butter, nutella and bananas to the other side and fried it on some butter. Without the nutella it's not sweet enough. It's a tasty sandwhich, but not special enough to make again. Although, I would make a grilled peanut butter and nutella sandwhich again.
I was told that jelly is derived from processing just the juice of the fruit leaving a smooth texture whilst jam has the bits of fruit preserved in it.
I think it could work with a sandwich maker, too. Do you guys in Ireland/in the UK/in the US know these things? They actually consist of two "shells" between which you can roast the bread without adding more fat to them. In Germany, "Toast Hawaii" is quite popular: it's two slices of bread with cheese, ham and a slice of pineapple.
It's better with bacon all right, good acrobatics when turning piece of toast with peanut butter and bananas on the other half with bacon. I would add honey, too, I think the honey was Elvis'es touch also. At the end, some strong dark honey.
i'm probably way late to the party for saying this but if you're into PB and banana sammiches you'll probably dig the jelly/jam. there is a distinction between the two tho.
If you love this sandwich, but don't want to get a stroke or get fat, the healthy version would be to get the toast cripsy in a toster or oven, eliminate bacon and use a healthy variation of the nut butter. Still yummy, nutritious and healthy :)
Elvis loved almost anything fried and their is a cookbook of his favorite "recipes " available for purchase when you visit Graceland. After having you make this sandwich I think you owe it to yourself to visit the king's house.
Thanks for trying but you have to use the crunchy peanut butter grape jelly bananas in baking but you have to toast the bread then you make the sandwich and then you put it in an Skillet fry and you wash it down with some belly wash which is what Elvis called pop Coca-Cola you got to try it that's exactly the way the woman made it for it he loved the woman so much that made him this sandwich lady bought her house the first time she made the same when she messed up to I don't worry you'll get it her name was Miss Mary Jenkins you can look it up on TH-cam
use paper towel to dry excess of oil from bacon but still frying the whole sandwich on that fat. flipping over the slice with bananas so they won't fall off instead of just placing them on top of the bacon or vice-versa. no problems if you're just a kid figuring out how to cook though.
As an American this must be the most American sandwich I have ever seen.
+Tyler Pelzer I wholeheartedly agree! :)
Yeah I don't know about Ireland, but I have a couple English friends and they both think peanut butter is gross. So sad
Tpelzy for it to be truly amarican you need 3 burger pattys and 1 order of large fries and a GIANT Coca-Cola.
Bacon originated from Europe. Most European countries make all desserts like pies and pastries (strudel) with apples so apple pie isn't unique to America either.
Except on a Hot Dog bun with a side of Apple pie !!
Dead set eating an Elvis sandwich right now. 3rd time I've made them this week. loving it. Works well with crunchy PB
I made this and I'm now in hospital having a triple bypass :)
the amount of sarcasm in this comment is unbelievable
My grandmother had a cardio-toxic diet and ate bacon often and saved the fat in a container in the fridge to spread on rye bread. She lived to 96.
CellarDoor lol I felt like my heart was going to stop just watching this
Yeah. For arterial health, a close second to eating lard out of a bucket.
Was it worth it? Lol
A southern sandwich for sure! That wasn't the only food that made Elvis gain weight, he loved his southern roots and foods. Don't we all?!
Dunk that in some eggs and milk before you fry it and that would make an amazing stuffed french toast!
Elvis' bacon peanut butter sandwich didn't have bacon in it. The peanut butter sandwich was just cooked in bacon grease
made this but instead finished the sandwiches in a panini press and added a slice of cheese to the sandwiches. words cannot describe the epicness of this sandwich. definitely something to have on rare occasions though lol.
Wait, sooooo- peanut butter, banana, bacon AND cheese?
So many gains in one meal. I need this in my life
Rob Lipsett WTF???!!! DID I JUST RUN INTO A ROB LIPSETT COMMENT ON TH-cam??!!! LMAOOO WHAT WERE YOU DOING HERE??? WHAT AM I DOING HERE??? I'M CURRENTLY ON A DIET LOL I GOT SO MANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I WAS FOR REAL GOING TO CHEAT ON MY DIET WITH THE ELVIS SANDWICH BUT I RAN INTO ROBS COMMENT NOW I'M HAVING 2ND THOUGHTS LOL THIS DUDE IS MOTIVATING ME EVEN WHEN I LEAST EXPECT IT & WHEN I NEED HIM THE MOST.

Best bfast power me up in the world
Sometimes I eat a banana and chunky peanut butter with toast for breakfast and that taste great and keeps me full right till afternoon coffee break or till supper.I'll try it with bacon this weekend.but what I found what taste real good is banana bread and chunky peanut butter.
Am I the only one who's not weirded out by this combo here?
no , me too
i eat peanut butter and bananas all the time i can’t believe i didn’t think of bacon
Grew up with peanut butter and bacon, now I have to try it with banana!
stupid question. of course you're not.
Peanut butter & banana is good I bet bacon would make it awesome tbh
Elvis: "Thank You,Thank You Very Much."
Don't really know about this recipe, like you said - gotta try it to know for sure! Anyway, I really feel like I have to give some credit to the people behind the scenes - I love the new studio and especially the lighting. You really stand out from the background, the green from outside the window compliments the warm interior. The kitchen looks so domestic and beautiful, I really like it.
And Donal - great video, as always. Been following and cooking your recipes for quite some time now and was never disappointed with the results. Keep up the amazing work!
How have you never tried a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
true
If I recall, PB&J is more of an American thing so it's definitely possible for anyone not from America to never have it.
PB&J is an American thing. He's from Ireland. When my sister studied in Vienna, she told us that peanut butter is actually pretty difficult to find. But now that he's moving to LA, I bet he'll get a chance to try them!
+Tori Provencio I'm from Ireland and I can honestly say anybody I have asked has said they have not tried it and sounds disgusting personally I love pbj especially toasted on a gorge foreman grill
or toast the bread and put it together while it's still warm I prefer jam to jelly.
I just had a minor stroke, type 2 diabetes and my heart exploded after watching this video.
+Vjatsheslav Gaidenko LOL, yeah not for everyday consumption that's for sure!
Man you're weak.
Vjatsheslav Gaidenko. must be the 5 point exploding heart technique
Hahahahhahahaa
This is not for everyday.....but what a treat...I'm going to make this sandwich for me and my family this week-end......thanks for sharing Donal :)
Being an Elvis fan I just love this sandwich 🥪 ❤️😁🤗👍 it's got the Zip & the Zap with it 👍 👍
They look delicious! I'm trying this one haha, sandwich lover here 🙋🏻 love your vids Donal!
"Hail to the King, baby!"
That is a king of a sandwich right there!!
+Lee Bennett UH HUH! :)
I'm astounded that you have never tried peanut butter and jelly. That is an absolute staple here.
I thought I remembered them saying it was a BACON, peanut butter and banana sandwich. But Elvis's cook didn't put bacon on it.
Add a little honey ... I mean, why not, you know?
😂😂😂 so true!
+Jason Bell Yup. Add some honey and a sunny side up egg, and you've got the ultimate hangover cure.
asdfrozen Oh, agreed!!
I add dark chocolate and rain down pepper.
Jason Bell of course...and what about some sugar based sauce and some sugar cooked onions?Oh,i almost forgot about the peanut butter and nutella milkshake to go together with it.With this meal you have a creative way of suicide ;)
Anyone here after GMM episode?
I don't know what to do..I've watched and rewatched all of your videos haha
Wait, you haven't try a peanut butter jelly sandwich yet? I'm shocked...
Well thank you Donal, thank you very much. Uh uh uh.
Hey awesome sandwich Donal, great video too looks like you made it just right, you've got a new fan here from Vancouver, Canada.
I like the way you use the paper towel to drain the excess fat of the bacon and then drench the sandwich in the bacon grease with added butter to it...wow!
I love heart healthy recipes like this 👍🏼
I feel like someone held Donal at spatula point and forced him to make and try this. Lol!!
There's no bacon on the sandwich.... It's just grilled in bacon greese.
Actually, Elvis ate it both ways, with and without bacon.
Brenda Lawrence his housekeeper/cook, Nancy Rooks, said she’d cook a pound of bacon, & put it on his sandwich
MMAFighter38 like a whole pound for one sandwich?
DylanDinosaur according to his housekeeper, yes. One of his guys also said he’d eat a pound of burnt bacon for breakfast.
@@MMAfighter38113 😅🤣
Sandwich kills Elvis.
His fans: I can’t wait to make this!
THATS HEART ATTACK SANDWICH
this sandwich should be called the Heart Failure Trigger.
I call it “The Sandwich That Killed The King”
In some places it's called the fat Elvis.
Everyone forgets that Elvis got addicted to pills. He needed Jesus Christ and His righteousness. It's truth.
Damn, he makes junk food look so good
Jasper Q.B. mmmm yummylicious
Oh man that looks INCREDIBLE! You have to treat yourself now and then :)
Had no idea this mix existed like this. And goodness, what an amazing thing to make when the munchies hit🤤.
It’s better if you do penut butter and jelly butter and bacon on a English muffin screw the banana
Elvis toasted his bread first and didn’t add bacon
Thank you! A lot of misinformation in the video.
Must have to try this recipe! Thank you!
So many variations on this..I as told it was a french toast with banana and peanut butter and that is what I still call an Elvis. It is amazing btw, 2 slices of bread, some peanut butter and some banana...egg batter and fry in butter. Drizzle with ... what ever you drizzle (or sprinkle) with.

Donal this recipe is ridiculous.. I love it. You are a great soul my friend.
+Spencer Stanley haha thank you :)
Elvis liked the bacon well done and crispy and he liked the bread toasted first before putting on the peanut butter, and he preferred the crunchy peanut butter. He also liked to have melted butter added to the bacon fat before frying the sandwich.
Elvis liked his bacon the way I do. 🥓
I've never known anyone who actually ate an Elvis sandwich, might have to try it now 🎈
I've made for my granddaughters here in England it's lovely and filling
omg your show follow donal to vietnam is premierin in my countryyyyyy!!!!! jumped my chair when i saw the ads for that show!!
i have discussed this sandwich with my cousin in England who was really turned off. I had to remind her that rather than putting a greasy English rasher in the sandwich, we North Americans fry our bacon until it's very crisp. That's the secret. The sandwich is out of this world and best accompanied with a root beer float💥
+Colin Hirons root beer float! Nice!
When you added the butter to bacon grease that's the moment I realized you truly understand American cuisine! ;)
Elvis didn't have bacon in his. There is a documentary that includes his cook on BBC. Slightly healthier but he did get it fried in butter. I just toast 1 bread, add peanut butter and sliced banana.
Elvis liked his sandwich with the bread toasted first, as Mary Jenkins his personal chef tells us.
Love these sandwiches!!!!
For a little spin on the ole elvis, try sliced apple instead of banana for some tartness and crunch.
elvis and I are definitely share some food mixing habits😂
I make these all the time they’re incredible
Something is very wrong with someone who has never tried peanut butter and jelly
Mash the banana with cinnamon and maple syrup will make this even better
+carlos glvn oooh great tip! :)
I made this sandwich today and it was GREAT!
We were just talking about this the other day! I immediately thought peanut butter french toast with bacon, grilled banana and maple syrup.. i have to do this now.
I have actually tried this and it is incredibly delicious. As for health wise, not so much.
So after 2hours of muay thai this is what you will call unhealthy? This is prolly one of the most hormonal balanced anticatabolic snacks ever made. Try it you might feel actual really recovered vs the greens with pastas and chickens
Tried it once.... never trying it again (sorry arteries but never again)
not really bacon and peanut butter is keto friendly, also banana are good carbs, and as bread make sure use whole wheat with no sugar or fructose. at the end depends on what bread you use....
You forgot to fry the bananas, and actually the sandwhiches he would eat more than likely had plantains in them, but that part I'm not sure of, only reason I say plantains is cus restaurants that have this item where I live have the big bakers bread and they use those long banana looking fruits which are called plantains.

I prefer it without the bacon, but yeah, very famous sandwhich.
This is so healthy +DonalSkehan!! You got your banana, peanut butter, and greasy bacon!!!! 😁😁
I know you keep "America this, America that" in this video, but I promise you most Americans think this sandwich sounds insanely gross :P
Get this man a peanut butter jelly sandwich ASAP!
I just made this sandwhich. I added crunchy peanut butter and bacon to one side and crunchy peanut butter, nutella and bananas to the other side and fried it on some butter. Without the nutella it's not sweet enough. It's a tasty sandwhich, but not special enough to make again. Although, I would make a grilled peanut butter and nutella sandwhich again.
I read that Elvis liked his sandwich bread fried in a LOT of butter
I was told that jelly is derived from processing just the juice of the fruit leaving a smooth texture whilst jam has the bits of fruit preserved in it.
Omg looks so good!!
Wow! awesome! I'm trying this today.
I'm so trying this on weekend 😋
The Elvis, The Fat Elvis, The Greaser, The King Slayer. This is the greasiest sandwich I've ever ate.
I think it could work with a sandwich maker, too. Do you guys in Ireland/in the UK/in the US know these things? They actually consist of two "shells" between which you can roast the bread without adding more fat to them. In Germany, "Toast Hawaii" is quite popular: it's two slices of bread with cheese, ham and a slice of pineapple.
The King also liked em without bacon..

Elvis wanted the bread toasted first. It probably is more healthy, no bacon grease use butter because he could afford it.
i'm probably way late to the party for saying this but if you're into PB and banana sammiches you'll probably dig the jelly/jam. there is a distinction between the two tho.
Mmm, My favorite.
That's a hunka-hunka crispy bacon...
Thanks for sharing this recipe 🌈
The recipe that his mother made (where the myth came from) was a peanut-butter and banana sandwich cooked in bacon fat.
One thing we always do with our banana sandwiches is slice the bananas on the bias! It tastes nicer because there's more surface area. Yum!
If you love this sandwich, but don't want to get a stroke or get fat, the healthy version would be to get the toast cripsy in a toster or oven, eliminate bacon and use a healthy variation of the nut butter. Still yummy, nutritious and healthy :)
Elvis loved almost anything fried and their is a cookbook of his favorite "recipes " available for purchase when you visit Graceland. After having you make this sandwich I think you owe it to yourself to visit the king's house.
I made these for dinner a while back they are so goood !!!!
who heres old enough to have seen elvis live, raise your hand. 🤚it was 1977 and i was just 14 years old
Thanks for trying but you have to use the crunchy peanut butter grape jelly bananas in baking but you have to toast the bread then you make the sandwich and then you put it in an Skillet fry and you wash it down with some belly wash which is what Elvis called pop Coca-Cola you got to try it that's exactly the way the woman made it for it he loved the woman so much that made him this sandwich lady bought her house the first time she made the same when she messed up to I don't worry you'll get it her name was Miss Mary Jenkins you can look it up on TH-cam
totally salivating right now!!
i'm addicted to these things. I eat about 2 a day.
It also works great with turkey bacon 😋
it sounds like a step away from a heart attack for ms but I'll try it since you say its good Donal ! lol .
I say dip it in batter and deep fry it with a powdered sugar topping and raspberry jam dipping sauce on the side. Why not die in blaze of glory!
Let's not forget the banana and mayonnaise sandwich 🥪 the peanut butter pickle and onions with bacon on Roman meal bread
I feel a cupcake coming on... This looks absolutely amazing! Could take it one step further and add Nutella... Awesome work Donal! :0)
yayy... nick, the god of cupcakes here ! im a fan, :)
Add some honey
I have made this for my mom before and she is 77 she is still alive and kicking she is a bacon, PB and a banana loving woman- good video Donal :-)
Love to hear that!
use paper towel to dry excess of oil from bacon but still frying the whole sandwich on that fat.
flipping over the slice with bananas so they won't fall off instead of just placing them on top of the bacon or vice-versa.
no problems if you're just a kid figuring out how to cook though.
Ashamed to admit I just made it and it was surprisingly delicious. Glad I've got more bacon!
I love the Elvis with bacon the most, I sometimes add jelly (or even jam) to make it extra.
Elvis liked the bread toasted before frying.
