The Classic BLT Sandwich

 

 

 

There are some things in life you never change. I mean why change perfection, right?  I often wonder who created this incredible classic sandwich and how did that person know how the layers of delicious goodness would be so incredible.  There are only 5 ingredients and those ingredients are so important.

BACON:  Thick cut crispy bacon is the perfect bacon for this recipe.  Fry it up in a skillet or bake it in the oven. 

LETTUCE: Cold and crispy Iceberg is a must.  Whole leaves not shredded.

TOMATOES It goes without saying that you must add tomatoes to have a true BLT, but there is nothing better than a big cold beef steak tomato!

BREAD Almost any bread is perfect for BLT’s but I prefer plain white bread toasted to a light golden brown!

Mayo:  Only Dukes or Hellman’s Real Mayo will do!
