Sammich Night
To begin this recipe (of sorts), I'm going to share how I cook bacon. If you've never cooked bacon this way, try it... it will change your life! lol Preheat oven to 400. Lay bacon pieces on a greased rack over a cookie sheet (I use the cookie wire cooling racks for this, they fit right in a cookie sheet.) You may wonder why you need to grease the rack, being that bacon is so full of fat already, but it will stick! Cook bacon in oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on how crisp you like it. No more getting spattered by grease, worrying about when to flip it, or smoking up the kitchen. You put it in the oven and it comes out perfect every time!
What you will need:
1 package bacon
Turkey lunch meat
Mozzarella cheese slices (or whatever you have handy or like)
Blue cheese crumbles
lettuce
Mango Salsa (Remember this from previous post?)
Sandwich bread
Herb mayo (the squeeze kind)
Mustard
Prepare your bacon. Once it is done remove it from the rack onto a paper towel. Pile up your turkey meat on the rack, sprinkle with Blue cheese, top with cheese slice. Place back in the oven until cheese melts. Go ahead and toast your bread lightly.
OK, so the secret to a great sandwich (or one of them) is how you build it. Think flat stuff on bottom, same rules go for burgers, etc. It just makes it easier to eat! (i.e. no falling apart or losing items.)
Slather on your mustard and mayo, I'm a little OCD at times, so I put one on each piece of toast. Next layer on some lettuce, I like ALOT! Add your bacon. Top with turkey/cheese stacks. Then add about 1-1.5 Tbsp. of the mango salsa on top of the cheese. Top with other slice of toast. Mash together and cut in half on the diagonal.
We ate these with some kettle cooked chips (because that's what we had), but they would be fantastic with sweet potato fries!
Let me know what you think of the flavor combo! :-)
