Best Bacon Sandwich Recipe

Prep Time: 25 min Total Time: 35 min Serves: 2

  • Ingredients

    8 Slices of thick cut bacon

    1 Large onion, diced

    4 TBL Mayonnaise

    2 tsp adobo sauce, (see notes)

    2 Ciabatta rolls, sliced in half

    1 C. Baby arugula

    1 Large Vine Tomato, sliced

    1TBL Avocado oil, can substitute olive oil

  • NOTES

    Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are sold in small cans in the Mexican section of most grocery stores. The peppers in the can are usually whole so blend them into the sauce; they'll last a long time in a clean glass jar in your fridge.

  • Directions

    1. Cook the bacon in a medium-sized pan over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes.
      Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel lined platter and pour out all but 3-4 TBLS of the bacon oil.
    2. Add the onion to the bacon grease and cook at med-low heat until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stirring frequently.
    3. While the onions are cooking, mix the mayonnaise and blended chipotle peppers in a small bowl.
    4. Remove the onions from the pan and set to the side, add 1 TBL oil to the same pan then put the ciabatta bread sliced side down into the pan. Let it toast for 2-3 minutes, until lightly golden.
    5. Spread the chipotle mayo on the toasted bread then top with the caramelized onions, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and arugula. Put the other slice of bread on top. Wrap
      each sandwich in parchment paper. Tie off with kitchen twine if desired.
    6. ENJOY!!
