Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices of bread Texas toast, sourdough, or ciabatta
- 4 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 4 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 large tomato sliced into thick rounds
- 4 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 2 slices cheddar or pepper jack cheese optional
- 2 tablespoons butter for toasting bread
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 8–10 minutes, flipping as needed.
- Drain on paper towels. For a cleaner method, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes on a foil-lined sheet.
- Lightly butter each bread slice and toast until golden brown, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Slice the tomato into thick rounds and wash and dry the lettuce; prepare any extras like avocado or onion.
- Spread BBQ sauce on one slice of bread and ranch on the other.
- Layer lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper, bacon, and cheese if using, then close the sandwich. Slice diagonally and serve warm with fries, chips, or a fresh green salad.
