This is a sandwich that I crave a lot. I am just posting it because I couldn't find it posted already on the Zaar...I couldn't believe that! My ex-DH wondered how I make these, so I decided to post it and send him the recipe. Nothing fancy — just the real, simple, unabridged version. UPDATE: After reading Peg629's review, I have tried it that way, with one slice of toast spread with yellow mustard, and I must say it really, really makes an exceptional BLT! Such a subtle difference, yet genuinely makes a superior BLT, in my opinion! (Thank you Peg629 for that awesome suggestion!)

SERVES 4 , 4 sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb bacon (approx. 12 slices)
8 slices white bread
8 leaves iceberg lettuce, fresh and full
8 slices of ripened tomatoes
8 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise

Directions

1
Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
2
Toast the 8 slices of bread.
3
Spread 1 tablespoon mayo on each slice of toasted bread. (More or less, to taste).
4
Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.
5
Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.
6
Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).
7
Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.
8
Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.
9
Enjoy!

NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!

Oh my goodness. Who knew that a recipe was needed to make a BLT. We have used various breads, but Hellmans is a must. Someof us like our bread toasted but others don't. My only suggestion is to eat this right away if you don't toast your bread, especially if you have juicy tomatoes!

Made this for dinner using Juenessa 's Barefoot Contessa's Oven Roasted Bacon and of course, this classic sandwich is DELICIOUS! Next time I think I'll try the suggestion of mustard on one slice of the bread! Stacky.... you will ge greatly missed!!!

Stacky, great again. Just a little trick we use here, mayo on one slice of bread and yellow mustard on the other piece of bread. Trust and try ! LOL...I was given it this way eons ago as a child and have turned many on to this.
