Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 8 slices of Hormel Applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sourdough Bread

    While the bacon is cooking, toast the 4 slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce and dry it thoroughly. Slice the large tomato into even slices.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted sourdough bread. On two of the slices, layer the lettuce, followed by 2-3 slices of crispy bacon, and then the tomato slices. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 5

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of toasted sourdough bread, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to secure the sandwich.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the sandwich in half diagonally. Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as potato chips or a pickle.
