BLT is a classic for a reason. It is definitely a go-to for me when I need a quick and easy lunch. Crispy bacon, toasted bread, cool lettuce, sweet juicy tomatoes and creamy mayo – nothing wrong with that! The main problem with a standard BLT is the “B”! Strips of bacon in a big pan, then once they are crisp you put them on the sandwich, take a bite the bacon pulls out and you are left with nothing but a sad “LT” sandwich.

Enter “bag-o-bacon”. Having prechopped bacon in the freezer makes this much easier to both prepare, and to eat.

Some bag-o-bacon and bread – straight from the freezer is fine here, too. Lettuce mayo and tomatoes. I like a bit of black pepper also.

Get the bacon cooking. Starting in a cold pan, and raising the temp once it starts to render seems to cut down on splatter. Drain on a paper towel.

Spread a bit of mayo on the toasted bread to glue the bacon.

Do the same with sliced cherry tomatoes.

I have always cooked, I was that person who could make a meal from an empty fridge. I have lived alone and with large and small families, I have cooked for camps on wood stoves, and in professional kitchens. I have lived and worked all over the west from Montana, to Seattle to Arizona to San Diego. I have traveled, maybe not 'all over the world', yet, and have collected tastes recipes and techniques everywhere, and every one I meet.
