For lunch yesterday, I made BLTs. For the four of us, I used a whole package of bacon, which I cooked in the oven because I like it to be flat and crispy. Just line rimmed baking sheets with a double layer of foil and place the bacon slices flat and not touching, bake at 350 degrees until they are as crispy as you like, it took about 20 minutes to get this:
Tear up green leaf lettuce (I never use Iceberg, it has no nutritional value, plus green leaf is pretty):
Slice two large tomatoes into medium-thick slices. Be prepared for your toddler to eat several:
Toast some white bread and slather with mayonnaise, then layer the bacon, lettuce, and tomato on top. that’s it! My son took this photo and he’s still learning about holding the camera steady, so it’s a little blurry, but here’s Kaitlyn and I showing off half a delicious looking BLT!
I like your explanation about BLT. It is simple to make. Tomorrow my lunch will be BLT. :)
I love BLT, it always hits the spot. Such a simple combo and it tastes so great. Looks like you guys had fun making it.
Lately I’ve been using all my bacon for delicious bacon-ranch pasta salad, but I’d really like to have a BLT soon. I just wish bacon were a little cheaper!
I can’t wait for fresh tomatoes to grow in my garden in the next month or so! They will go great on a BLT (I like mine with a little mayo)!
My all time favorite!! It was the most requested sandwich for mom to make…with tomato soup!
That’s how I’ve been cooking my bacon too. In the oven! No more messy splatters :)

There is nothing better than a BLT with fresh tomatoes…Mmmm, my favorite sandwich in the world! (Now you’ve got me hungry for one!)

Homemade BLTs are the very reason I grow tomatoes in my garden. Looks YUMMY! Do you like mayo on yours?

Don-I edited the post because I forgot to say that the bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes go on toasted white bread with some mayo! So good!
Laurie- I only serve Grilled Cheese sandwiches with tomato soup! But maybe next time I’ll try it with a BLT.
Barb-I wish the tomatoes had been fresh and not from the grocery store, but it was still good! Thanks for the comment, please stop by again!
Assertagirl-I edited the post because I forgot to write that the B,L,and T go on toasted white bread spread with mayo!
