1
Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces and place them in a single layer on a smoker-safe pan. Smoke the bacon for about 2 hours until they reach a crispy texture.
2
Make the Mayo Spread
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
3
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the iceberg lettuce and remove the outer leaves. Slice the tomatoes into thick slices.
4
Assemble the Sandwiches
Toast the bread slices lightly. Spread the mayo mixture on one side of each slice. Layer the bacon burnt ends, lettuce, and tomato slices on four of the slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.
5
Serve
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with extra mayo on the side, if desired.
