My love affair with Bacon started at an early age... I made it a personal goal to try every food that contained this most precious commodity... My mother noticed my passion for this food and insured that we always had some on hand for what have you... BLT's, beans & Bacon, green beans and Bacon, Bacon burgers... you name it, when I left home for the military, I felt as if my Bacon passion had run full circle and that I had tasted every possible way for this delectable treat to be served... After my third year in the military, I was still confident that my Bacon knowledge was complete... Then it happened... my world was turned upside down.... after coming back to the main land from a recent deployment, a couple of friends and myself went to a bowling alley to well.. bowl.... I didn't have much cash on me and I noticed that they had a Bacon sandwich on the menu for $1.50, I asked the lady behind the counter if this Bacon sandwich the menu was offering just a BLT.... The lady said no that it was not a BLT... I asked her if it was like a club sandwich with Bacon on it... she said "No honey, this sandwich is totally different, but I guarantee that you are gonna like it.." I was skeptical at first, I was thinking to myself "what could this thing possibly be? Am I about to try something that I have yet to discover" The lady put the Bacon slices on the gril and as it sizzled, I caught a whiff of that savory smell of hickory smoked Bacon.... After the Bacon was done I saw her take out some bread and begin putting the sandwich together.... She handed me my tray and immediately I noticed that this concoction looked vaguely familiar, but at the same time different... I went and sat down and took a bite.... at that moment my life would never be the same... I was so taken back by the flavor, the savoriness of what I was tasting that I pondered what my reality actually was... did my mother truly love me? why in my 21yrs had she never made me such a sandwich, why had no other human on the planet ever mentioned this sandwich to me? Why didn't Sonic sell this sandwich? Why did none of my best friends moms ever make this sandwich for me? I could not answer such questions, but at that moment I discovered what true love actually was and what I was destined to be eating on occasions for the rest of my life... Even now I sometimes forget about this sandwich, but I had a couple last night and thought I would pass this along....
Fry up some hickory smoked Bacon (maple kind don't taste right)
Make yourself a grilled cheese sandwich with American cheese (actually make two, if not you will be kicking yourself in the butt for not doing so... DON'T burn the bread!)
as soon as you take the sandwiches off of the skillet open them up and put in your Bacon, a little Miracle Whip and some dill pickle slices... close them up and enjoy!!!!!
