We are currently enjoying life in Corporate housing for another 10 days and their "fully equipped" kitchen has the making of about 1 saucepan and a random slotted spoon, so my cooking has been pretty basic. That being said, this sammy is quick and easy to make and well, it rocks! BLTs are great, but, as always, I love to kick things up a notch and put a gourmet twist on it. With a little white cheddar, avocado and yummy BBQ sauce the job is done. Also, don't forget the quick and easy homemade peppered turkey bacon (or just peppered bacon if you just can't go there with turkey bacon) to put the icing on the cake. I made this a complete dinner by serving it with homemade sweet potato fries and a simple green salad. PS- if BLTs aren't your thing- use the peppered turkey bacon for something else- so simple but darn tasty!

Sounds fantastic and quick an easy! How do you make your sweet potato fries?
Delicious! I also want to know how you made the sweet potato fries. They look perfect!
Alrighty, it looks like it's time for a sweet potato fries post- I make them a lot during the summer, they go so great with stuff off of the grill and light summer meals. Cutting them thin enough, cooking them high enough and using EVOO and good sea salt really does the trick.
Made these bad boys for lunch the other day, we all loved them! The bacon turned our perfect in the oven, I have never done it like that before.
