Sandwich Ingredients

French Fries Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Sandwich

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prep the Tomato

    While the bacon is cooking, wash and slice the medium tomato into thin slices.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take two slices of bread and butter one side of each. On the unbuttered side, layer two slices of American cheese, followed by the crispy bacon, tomato slices, and then two more slices of American cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, place the sandwich and grill over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Cooking the French Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the French Fries

    While the sandwich is grilling, preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen French fries.

  2. 6

    Bake the French Fries

    Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for the recommended time, usually around 20-25 minutes, or until crispy.

  3. 7

    Season the Fries

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection and the fries are cooked and seasoned, serve the bacon and tomato grilled cheese alongside the crispy French fries.
