Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices unsmoked back bacon (or streaky bacon)
- 4 slices white bread (or brown bread)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sauce (HP Sauce) or ketchup
Instructions
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Lay the slices of bacon in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. If you prefer your bacon less crispy, reduce the cooking time.
While the bacon cooks, lightly butter one side of each slice of bread.
Once the bacon is done, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Toast the buttered slices of bread (butter-side down) in the same pan used to cook the bacon for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly crispy and golden. This step is optional and can be skipped if you prefer your bread soft.
On two of the toasted bread slices, spread your choice of brown sauce or ketchup evenly.
Layer 3 slices of cooked bacon onto each sauced slice of bread.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to complete your sandwich.
Slice the sandwiches in half (diagonally, if desired) and serve warm.
