BROWN SUGAR BACON BLT SANDWICHES

Brown Sugar Bacon BLT Sandwiches image

Simple BLT sandwiches are quite amazing, but when you add dill mayonnaise, avocado and brown sugar bacon, they become something spectacular! I used double-thick bacon in this recipe, but you can use thick-cut bacon if you prefer, adjusting the cooking time as necessary. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia
