BLT: the right way

I don't know about y'all but I LOVE bacon. I could eat it everyday at every meal. I do not know who came up with this but they are brilliant!!! Have you ever heard of basket weave bacon?? I will never look at a BLT the same. Plus, baking bacon is something new that I have been doing. Less clean up and it does not make my house smell like grease. 
Basket weave bacon BLT



 bacon
lettuce
tomato, sliced
bread, toasted
mustard/mayo/avocado (whatever you like on your sandwiches) 

 Take your whole pack of bacon and slice it down the middle. You’ll be making more than one sandwich, I hope. Arrange six half-slices of bacon in a basket weave pattern on a foil lined baking sheet as pictured. 

Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. I flipped the bacon about 15 minutes in to make sure it was good and crispy. Make your sandwich however you like. I made mine with guacamole! It was delicious!
The best thing about basket weaving your bacon.... it doesn't fall out of the sandwich! Seriously, the smartest idea ever. 

 Enjoy!
