30 in 30: Carmelized BLT

I gotta warn you.  This may be the most fabulously delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life.  If you are prone to addictions, I recommend that you NOT try this.
  
Caramelized BLT 
(AKA: Lunchtime Heroine)


Caramelized Bacon:
Make a foil liner-pan to cover your cookie sheet (a single piece of foil with the sides and ends folded up so that the grease and caramel don't drip into your oven).

Place a single layer of bacon on lined cookie sheet.  Cover bacon with brown sugar, about 1/4" deep. (2 slices per sandwich)

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes.  I know that is a wide range, but the timing can vary significantly for each batch of bacon.  Check it early and often, because it can go from slightly underdone to burned in a very short time!


Sandwich
For each sandwich, heat a Sister Schubert's roll according to package directions.

Slice open.  Spread mayo on one half and your favorite Italian dressing on the other.  (My personal favorite is Good Seasons Italian packet made with Balsamic vinegar.)

Layer with lettuce, a fresh slice of tomato, and 2 slices of carmelized bacon, folded or broken in half to "fit." 


Eat...and try not to die from the rush of ecstasy.
