Since there are so few ingredients, going low-fat on any of them would really compromise the flavor. This should only be made in the summer when tomatoes are perfectly ripe. This makes two sandwiches.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

salt and pepper
4 slices tomatoes (must be ripe and fairly large)
6 -8 slices bacon
4 slices bread (or 2 split buns, use your favorite of either)
6 leaves iceberg lettuce
2 tablespoons buttermilk ranch dressing (Hidden Valley Ranch)

Steps:

Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper and allow to rest on paper towels to absorb liquid.
In a large cast iron skillet, cook the bacon until crisp (about 15-20 minutes) and drain on a paper towel.
Pour off the bacon fat (but save it for other recipes!) leaving a tiny coating of fat in the pan. Over a very low heat, put the slices of bread in the skillet and warm/toast them on both sides until lightly browned (about 3-4 minutes total).
Remove bread from the skillet and, for each sandwich, top one bread slice with 2 tomatoes, 3-4 slices bacon, 3 lettuce leaves, and 1 tbsp dressing; top with the other bread slice and serve immediately.

THE WORLD'S BEST B L T SANDWICH

The World's Best B L T Sandwich image

So simple, and yet so many subtle differences transform "good" to "world's best." the way a sandwich is assembled is key to how good it tastes. A gread sandwich is never dry (too bready). I pull out and discard all the soft white centers from baguettes, leaving two cano-shaped halves. This hollowed out bread is then packed full and doused with a generous splash of "house" dressing. Closing one of these sandwiches is like shutting an overpacked suitcase!
