BLT Sandwich
For those of you that do not know what BLT stands for it is Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. This sandwich is very popular where I live.
August is that time of the year that our garden is at its peak. It is also the only time of the year that I eat BLT Sandwiches. Why…..because the only tomatoes that taste good to me are the one’s that come fresh out of a garden. There is nothing worse than a hot house tomato from the store!
BLT Sandwiches are simple to make and I’m sure most of you know how to make them, however, there are new cooks popping up every day so this blog is for them.
Another reason to post such a simple recipe is just to remind you of something delicious to make as you browse through my categories of food. One reason I write my blog is to give people ideas of what to cook for meals whether you use my recipe or your own. I think figuring out what to cook every day is harder than actually cooking it!
Ingredients
Spread Miracle Whip, Mayo or whatever you like on one slice of toast. Miracle Whip or Mayo is the traditional way to eat them where I live. Place four pieces of bacon on top.
Place a fresh, vine ripened, home-grown, thick tomato slice on top of the bacon. Of course you can use whatever tomato you would like.
Place a layer of lettuce on top of the tomato.
Top with the last piece of toast. Now you are ready to enjoy one of my favorite summertime sandwiches!

One of my favorite sandwiches. Yum! I go with Best Foods mayo, just a personal choice. Choice of bread is important too. Glad you went with white bread toast. Aloha. 🙂
My favorite sandwich of summer! Thanks!
Love these even if I haven’t had one in a long time! Sometimes I would fry an egg and include that and have a BELT! 😆
I love that! You created a new sandwich!!!
Love sandwich and its a yum recipe 🙂
Great combination of flavors. Thanks!
My favorite! Sometimes we substitute avocado for lettuce. Yum!
That is very interesting! Never heard of that and what a different taste it would give the sandwich! Thanks for sharing that!!!
It actually works great! If you really want to load up the sandwich then add a slice of provolone cheese too. 🙂
Yum! I love hearing about new ways to fix recipes. Thanks!
Delicious! 😊

Beautiful BLT here wow
Awe thanks Cory!
My family have always eaten BELT lol bacon, egg (scrambled), lettuce, tomato.. give it a shot 🙂
That sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing that! I would even put cheese on it…lol
I’m lactose intolerant, so you’ll just have to tell me what it’s like lol
I’m curious, what is in BLT’s that makes has lactose. I don’t know much about the subject but isn’t it only dairy products? I believe mayonnaise is lactose free. I’m no expert that’s for sure!
Well you said you might like to add cheese lol
Oh…lol….I thought you meant the BLT itself.
Oh no lol but I don’t eat much pork anymore, it offers very little health benefits lol
But it is tasty…..lol I wish I could eat healthier but I love to cook!
Try being a diabetic without insulin, and lactose intolerant lol I actually have a condition that’s known very little about, but I hate the taste of food, I hate all textures, all flavors, smells, I hate all food, it gags me lol
Oh my gosh so sorry. What in life do you focus on to make you happy? Nature, friends….obviously blogging! When I have to deal with my physical ailments I focus on other things that make me happy. People always ask how can I have such a positive outlook on a bad situation. For me I have to be that way, that’s the way I deal.
I lack just happiness lol
I hope you find it! Take care and have a great week!
It’s weird but as a young adult I loved BLT’s, but now in my later years not so much. It is still just as simple and delicious as ever, but like other foods from my past like bananas, just not a fan. Like I said, weird.
Do you like bacon now or just the BLT? Really not so weird. There are a lot of things I ate as a child that I don’t care for now. Maybe we just ate too much of them as kids???
