The Easiest BLT Sandwich

this …

Am I the only one who spells Sandwich wrong? I swear, it’s instinctive for me to add an h after the w and spell out which and that’s not even remotely correct.

Moving on, if you follow me on Instagram then I’m sure you witnessed my IG stories leading up to this recipe.

I asked my friend if I should get into the nitty-gritty details on here about it.

She told me that it would turn my readers off so I’ll save that Trader Joe’s bread saga story for another day, but it was terrible and comical all at the same time and that’s all I’m going to say about it.

Speaking of bread, when I pitched my BLT recipe to another friend who frequently helps me come up with recipe ideas for this blog (thanks Kelley) we got into a friendly debate about the best bread to use for BLT Sammies.

I asked her if she thought Ciabatta bread would be good and she replied, “no way! White bread is the way to go for BLTs, always always! White has just enough flavor and doesn’t overpower the bacon, lettuce, or tomato.”

You will find good-quality white bread at your local grocery store. Go for the all-natural one, it's better for you and tastes great too!

I like to add mustard and mayo to my BLT but this is certainly up to you. I also add one of my favorite spices called Sandwich Sprinkle seasoning made by Penzy’s spices.

This is such a yummy spice and goes amazingly well on all kinds of sandwiches! I like to add Himalayan Sea-Salt and black pepper. Pepper is a must on any Sammy in my opinion.

I have another trick up my sleeve and it's all about how you cook your bacon.

Bacon is the start of the Sandwich and it’s imperative that you cook it the right way.

Now, many people fry their bacon in a pan, but you have to stay with the bacon the entire time to make sure it doesn’t burn. Burning bacon is easy to do in a frying pan.

I prefer to bake my bacon. I lay it out on tinfoil on a sheet pan and cook it in the oven and it comes out perfectly every time!

Baking the bacon is a healthier option too and ensures it won’t burn.

Baking bacon is easy-peezy. Simply, grab a baking sheet and line it with a silicone liner, and place the bacon lengthwise on the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees and let it preheat all the way. Once the oven is preheated, pop the bacon in the oven for about 10-minutes.

Check the bacon after 10-minutes and if it’s nice and cooked to your liking, remove and drain the bacon on paper towels before adding the slices to your Sammy.

If it’s not done, cook and watch it for another 5-minutes. The amount of time to bake the bacon depends on the type of bacon you are using for your sandwich, but most should bake in about 10-15-minutes.

Have you ever baked bacon before? Try it and let me know how you like it. It’s our favorite way to make bacon in our household. Get it? Makin Bacon?

I use iceberg lettuce, it's crunchy and refreshing!

I love to use fresh tomatoes that we grow on our farm. They are truly the best local tomatoes you can find.

In fact, when I eat tomatoes from other places, it’s just not the same. Local and farm fresh is best!

Cheers to a classic Americana Sandwich that is delicious and can be made year-round. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe. Share with me what your favorite sandwich is.
