Notes
- For fun variations, try adding
- Sliced avocado or guacamole
- A fried egg
- Pickled veggies
- Roasted red peppers
- Cheese, such as cheddar, feta, provolone, muenster, or mozzarella
- Bacon jam in place of the bacon
- Fried green tomatoes in place of the tomato slices
- Garlic aioli, Buffalo sauce, walnut pesto, fry sauce, burger sauce, or ranch instead of the mayo
- For crisp bacon, use thin-cut bacon rather than thick.
- Let the bacon drain completely to avoid greasy sandwiches.
- Choose a hearty bread that can stand up to juicy tomatoes.
- Stir sauces or seasonings into the mayonnaise to change up the flavor.
- Choose a crunchy lettuce, such as green leaf, romaine, or iceberg.
- Use fresh, firm slicing tomatoes! If they're extra juicy, you can pat them dry.
