    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    If desired, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.

    Spread a generous amount of the creamy mayo spread on one side of each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce, and then the tomato slices.
