Our bacon, both smoked and uncured, is a long-standing favorite among our cherished customers like you. Its exceptional quality and delectable taste have made it a staple on many breakfast plates, sandwich creations, and recipe experiments. We wanted to remind you of the delightful versatility of our bacon and inspire you with some mouthwatering ideas:

• Bacon Bliss Desserts: Explore the sweet side of bacon with maple-bacon cupcakes or caramel-bacon brownies.

Here’s one of our favorite recipes found at https://natashaskitchen.com/blt-sandwich/.  It’s your classic BLT with the addition of Avocado and a 3 ingredient sandwich sauce.  Then we kick it up a bit with some Cholula Hot Sauce.  Here’s the drill (this makes 4 sandwiches but you can adjust to fit your needs): 

Ingredients:

8 slices of bread, cut 1/2″ thick

12 slices of bacon

2 large ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced

4 green lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried

1 large avocado (or 2 small avocados), pitted, peeled, and sliced

Salt and black pepper, to taste

(We kick it up a notch with some Cholula Hot Sauce)

Sauce for BLT Sandwiches:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 teaspoons yellow mustard

(We go rogue and add a splash of lemon juice as well).

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400˚F. Place the bacon slices on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until browned and crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.

In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Lightly butter both sides of the bread slices and toast them on a dry griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown.

On a cutting board, arrange 4 slices of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of sauce over each slice. Add a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, bacon, and avocado. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (and add hot sauce if desired).

Spread 1 tablespoon of sauce over the remaining toasted bread slices and place them over the sandwich, sauce side down. Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve.

Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures that this BLT Sandwich offers – the crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, and the perfect blend of sauce to tie it all together. It’s a true delight for your taste buds!
