BLT Sandwich Ingredients

Here are the classic BLT ingredients that you will want to use for this recipe. This is a fast sandwich that comes together quickly. 

• Bread, any variety—Texas toast or any slice you like. I recommend a thicker cut of bread so it holds its shape. 
• Bacon—thick-cut bacon is my favorite, as you get much more of the bacon flavor in each bite. 
• Lettuce – Iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce works great. The leafy greens add a nice crisp light texture. 
• Tomato – Roma or a beefy tomato all work great. The biggest key is use fresh ingredients for the recipe. 
• Cheese – Any slice of cheese works from pepper jack to Monterey jack or even a sharp cheddar cheese. 
• Sauce of choice,

How To Make 

Step 1: Heat the griddle to medium heat and place bacon on the Blackstone. Flip as needed until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and place on a paper towel lined plate.

Step 2: Butter both sides of the bread, or place butter on the griddle. (both methods work great) Toast until golden brown and turn over. Once both sides are toasted, remove from the griddle.

Step 3: Add sauce or mayonnaise to two slices of bread. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, bacon, and cheese to make the blt sandwich. Serve and enjoy!

Tips For Success 

• Use any variety of bacon. One way to change the flavor of your BLT is by switching up the bacon. Peppered bacon is insanely good, but hickory, applewood smoked, and other varieties are delicious too. 
• Play with the sauce. You can stick to typical mayonnaise, but I like to change it up. Ranch, dijon mustard, and mashed avocado are all great options. 
• Watch the bread closely. If you haven’t made toast on your Blackstone yet, you may be surprised by how fast it cooks. Keep a close watch on the toast because it will burn quickly.

FAQs

What goes with a Blackstone BLT?

You can really serve it with any of your favorite sides. We like my homemade Air Fryer french fries, chips, and broccoli salad.  This easy BLT goes well with fruit, soup, and a garden salad. You really can’t go wrong with sides here. 

 Do you put oil on a Blackstone before cooking bacon? 

You do not have to add oil to the griddle before cooking your bacon. You will find the bacon has enough grease on its own, so you do not need to pregrease the griddle. 

What cannot be cooked on a griddle? 

Be aware that adding frozen items onto the Blackstone griddle, as it can cause the grill to warp. Just be aware and not put a lot of the frozen items onto the griddle at once. 

Pair your sandwiches with some coleslaw, pasta salad, cucumber salad or some salty chips. The options to pair with your bacon sandwiches are endless.
