Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the BBQ sauce over low heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the lettuce. Slice the tomato into thick slices.

  4. 4

    Toast the Artisan Roll

    Slice the artisan roll in half and toast lightly in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread a generous amount of the warmed BBQ sauce on the bottom half of the toasted artisan roll.

  2. 6

    Add the Bacon

    Place the crispy bacon strips over the BBQ sauce.

  3. 7

    Add Onion Straws

    Top the bacon with a cup of onion straws.

  4. 8

    Add Lettuce and Tomato

    Layer the lettuce leaves and tomato slices on top of the onion straws.

  5. 9

    Finish with Smokeshow Sauce

    Drizzle the smokeshow sauce over the top, and then place the top half of the artisan roll on to complete the sandwich.
