Sandwich

BLT with Bacon Tomato Jam

This BLT recipe is a step up from the basic sandwich you might already know and love. But, I encourage you to add a little sweet and savory tomato jam to the layers. It not only provides more tomato flavor to the sandwich, but it also has pieces of crispy bacon for more bacon! So really, it’s like a DELUXE BLT sandwich!
