Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich Recipe

Delicious BLT Sandwich with Special Sauce

This sandwich is always a tasty treat. It's made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato, along with my special sauce. The special sauce is made from tomato powder and lemon pepper, giving it a tangy flavor that enhances the tomatoes and salty bacon.

Preparing the Bacon

I usually cook my bacon in the oven, but this time I fried it in a skillet to try out a new pan. Whatever method you choose, make sure the bacon is nice and crispy. Cook it to your liking.

Seasoning Tips

I give measurements for the seasonings, but remember to taste as you go and adjust according to your preference. I particularly like adding lemon pepper to this recipe for extra flavor. It adds a tangy taste that elevates the sandwich, especially with fresh garden tomatoes. Make sure to note down the measurements of your special sauce for next time to make your sandwich extra special.
