Here is another great, simple idea for a summer meal. We had some wonderful sweet corn a friend brought over, and our first successful tomatoes of the season. For years my dad had told me that a fresh tomato out of your garden will put all other tomatoes to shame. So we decided to make something that would really celebrate that great sweetness.
This was my technique to keep the bacon strips from curling up. I like my bacon to be a little chewy -- almost like beef jerky consistency. So I never want to over-cook it and make it really dry and crisp. I also don't like when it curls and shrivels up. This was my idea for combating that curling problem.
I always pat the bacon dry with paper towels or napkins so they aren't overly greasy.
Beyond that, it's nothing more than layering bacon, lettuce, and tomato in a sandwich. I'm not sure why mayonnaise doesn't get a letter in this famous sandwich name -- because for me no B.L.T. is complete without a little M.
This sandwich works so well because of all the richness from the mayo and bacon, and the sweet and somewhat tangy tomato, and a crisp clean crunch of lettuce and toast. I'm a huge fan. And it's a really easy dinner that's sure to be a crowd pleaser.
