Heres where we bump up a regular BLT, to the hearty version that turns a regular sandwich into a meal for Big Hands.
-
2
I used a roll of refrigerated Grand Biscuits (Whole Wheat Reduced Fat) but please by all means, feel free to use the regular Home-style Grands.
-
3
But in all honesty, I think the big hands person in my life would have preferred that I used the regular kind as opposed to the Whole Wheat Low Fat.
-
4
He didnt actually say this, bless his heart, I just had that wifey feeling.
-
5
But since I was trying to be somewhat healthy (if thats at all possible when using thick cut bacon) I decided to go with whole wheat.
-
6
Trust me, his big hands ate it anyway, whole wheat and all.
-
7
So feel free to use the regular buttermilk home-style instead.
-
8
Get the regular BLT players all set up and ready.
-
9
You know, the mayo, the lettuce, and of course the star of the show, your thick cut bacon.
-
10
I sometimes use the pepper thick cut bacon for a bit more flavor, but regular is good too.
-
11
I also put my bacon in the oven at 350F to avoid the stove-top splatter.
-
12
But however you cook your bacon, get it all ready and pre-cooked to crispy.
-
13
After you have all the players ready to go, turn the oven to 350F and get ready to make the biscuit bread.
-
14
Open the roll and separate out the 8 biscuits.
-
15
Take a biscuit and roll it out flat, until it becomes 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
-
16
Do this to all 8 biscuits.
-
17
Pop your flattened biscuits onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350F until golden brown.
-
18
About 18 minutes or so or according to package instructions.
-
19
When they come out of the oven, theyre perfect in every way.
-
20
Each biscuit will have a somewhat puffed up side (which will be the pretty top side of the sandwich) and underneath they will have a flat side, perfect for stacking purposes.
-
21
Ok, now its time to start stacking things on top of the flat side of half of the biscuits.
-
22
Schmear some mayo onto the flat side of the biscuit (if thats your schmear of choice).
-
23
Then a couple of thick slices of tomatoes.
-
24
And of course, as many bacon slices as your heart desires.
-
25
A couple slices of crisp cool lettuce.
-
26
And VOILA!
-
27
Here you have it.

A BIG HANDS BLT.
