Ultimate BLT

[TNJAKE]

Evening fellas and non fellas. As many of you know I made some bacon the other day. Here's that thread

Bacon

Howdy fellas and non fellas finished up some bacon today. Started with a 3.5lb premium belly from Home place pastures. Wish I'd had more but belly is hard to find around here and these are around $10lb which isn't really sustainable for bacon. Cured for 14 days .25% cure #1 1.75% brown sugar...

In that thread I said I was gonna do a BLT. Things got busy so had to push it a day but Tonight was the night! Cooked the bacon in the oven on a wire rack at 400° took around 25 or more min. Since I hand slice bacon it was nice and thick.

Got some Cherokee purple tomatoes (the best imo), lettuce, dill pickles, Vidalia onion, boar's head Vermont cheddar and some dukes mayo on Amish sourdough

Toasted up and ready to eat. I suppose mine has 8 pieces of bacon. Or as Emily said a heart attack portion

Bacon is fire and so was this BLT!

My understanding is that if you arrive at the Pearly Gates during lunch time, Saint Peter will be eating a BLT.

Don't get any better than that.

The sandwich of summer, but it will be a while before we get home-grown tomatoes here in the midwest.

Love the portion of bacon.

Man where to start on that beauty. First of all I agree, Cherokee Purple is my favorite tomato for flavor. That sandwich is just amazing right down to using some white cheddar AND the worlds best Mayo!!

Great looking BLT Jake. I agree with you regarding Cherokee tomatoes.

Tell Emily that as a 30 yr nurse I feel that is the perfect bacon to other stuff ratio. And I take a cholesterol pill just incase I'm wrong. Great looking sammich.
