Bacon Preparation
- 1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pecan-wood bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
Vegetable Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash the lettuce thoroughly and pat it dry. Tear the lettuce into large pieces. Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Sauce Preparation
- 3
Make the Special Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt to taste.

Build Your BLT
Toast the slices of your chosen bread lightly if desired. Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on one side of each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce and then the tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, sauce side down.
