Expert Tips

You can use almost any bread you have on hand for this sandwich. We've called for sourdough or Vienna because these are firm textured and grill well. Other good choices include Italian bread, large French bread slices or country French bread slices.

These sandwiches are great for lunch or supper. For lunch, serve them with cut-up fresh vegetables and fruit. For supper, add deli potato salad and pickles.

I have not tried this yet because I just found it. But here is an idea that I am going to try. Replace onion with tomato. Add a salad and you have a new version of BLT.

Wow, This is definitely a 5 star.... I followed just as the recipes is except to add more bacon to each sandwich, my preference. Already planning when to make it again for son and DIL to try. Slice the onion nice and thick so it doesn't fall apart. Excellent ty
