Vannisa's Special BLT

Submitted by Chef #307347

"A BLT sandwich with a cream cheese and chive spread instead of mayonnaise. I serve them with strawberries on the side for a change from the same old routine. I really like this sandwich. I only make it on special occasions, though."

This was a very tasty unique BLT. I never would have thought of using cream cheese instead of mayo. Thanks for posting. **Made for the New Kids on the Block Tag Game 6/09**
