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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, lightly butter one side of each slice of bread.
Step 4
Once the bacon is done, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
On two of the toasted bread slices, spread your choice of brown sauce or ketchup evenly.
Step 7
Layer 3 slices of cooked bacon onto each sauced slice of bread.
Step 8
Top with the remaining slices of bread to complete your sandwich.
Step 9
Slice the sandwiches in half (diagonally, if desired) and serve warm.
