Tips
-For convenience and easy clean up, this recipe uses fully cooked bacon which can be found in most grocery stores.
-Try creating a BLT bar at your next gathering. Many flavors of mayo and sauces are now readily available in squeeze bottles. These are perfect for a BLT bar. We used chili lime mayonnaise (for a spicy kick), regular Mayo and ranch dressing.
