Underrated foods: the Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich

Everyone sings the praises of bacon. As rightly, they should. It is delicious. 

Sometimes though, you kind of want a salad to go along with your bacon. So what's a person to do? Make a sandwich. 

I feel like a BLT is underrated because of its simplicity. It isn't talked about much because of how easy it is to make. But think about it, it is one of the cheapest sandwiches that has vegetables, protein and grains. 

How do you make your bacon? I like to cook mine in the oven if I can. Just at 400 for about 15 minutes. I like mine extra crispy. 

So for my traditional sandwich:

Bread (white is traditional, but whatever is on hand is fine)

2-3 Slices of Crispy Bacon (get outta here with the soft bacon)

Tomato, sliced (heirloom is fantastic)

Lettuce (green leave or Romain preferred, never iceberg)

Mayonnaise (miracle whip preferred)

Sometimes, just sometimes, I'll get fancy with it and put a little mustard or some seasoning on the mayonnaise before assembling the sandwich.
