Big Hands Hearty Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich
- 16 ounces, weight Roll Of Pillsbury Grands Refrigerated Biscuits
- 1 pound Thick Cut Bacon (Peppered Flavor Optional)
- 2 whole Large Ripe Tomatoes, Sliced
- 1 head Lettuce
- 4 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- Heres where we bump up a regular BLT, to the hearty version that turns a regular sandwich into a meal for Big Hands.
- I used a roll of refrigerated Grand Biscuits (Whole Wheat Reduced Fat) but please by all means, feel free to use the regular Home-style Grands.
- But in all honesty, I think the big hands person in my life would have preferred that I used the regular kind as opposed to the Whole Wheat Low Fat.
- He didnt actually say this, bless his heart, I just had that wifey feeling.
- But since I was trying to be somewhat healthy (if thats at all possible when using thick cut bacon) I decided to go with whole wheat.
- Trust me, his big hands ate it anyway, whole wheat and all.
- So feel free to use the regular buttermilk home-style instead.
- Get the regular BLT players all set up and ready.
- You know, the mayo, the lettuce, and of course the star of the show, your thick cut bacon.
- I sometimes use the pepper thick cut bacon for a bit more flavor, but regular is good too.
- I also put my bacon in the oven at 350F to avoid the stove-top splatter.
- But however you cook your bacon, get it all ready and pre-cooked to crispy.
- After you have all the players ready to go, turn the oven to 350F and get ready to make the biscuit bread.
- Open the roll and separate out the 8 biscuits.
- Take a biscuit and roll it out flat, until it becomes 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
- Do this to all 8 biscuits.
- Pop your flattened biscuits onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350F until golden brown.
- About 18 minutes or so or according to package instructions.
- When they come out of the oven, theyre perfect in every way.
- Each biscuit will have a somewhat puffed up side (which will be the pretty top side of the sandwich) and underneath they will have a flat side, perfect for stacking purposes.
- Ok, now its time to start stacking things on top of the flat side of half of the biscuits.
- Schmear some mayo onto the flat side of the biscuit (if thats your schmear of choice).
- Then a couple of thick slices of tomatoes.
- And of course, as many bacon slices as your heart desires.
- A couple slices of crisp cool lettuce.
- And VOILA!
- Here you have it.
- A BIG HANDS BLT.
