Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, place six slices of thick-cut bacon. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is nearly crispy but still flexible.
- Glaze the Bacon: Brush both sides of the crispy bacon with your favorite BBQ sauce. Return the bacon to the skillet and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Toast the Buns: Prepare your sandwich buns by toasting them either in the skillet or broiling them in the oven for 2–3 minutes until golden.
- Melt the Cheese (Optional): If using cheese, place slices of cheddar on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Start with the bottom bun, adding melted cheese, glazed bacon, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and ranch dressing.
- Complete the Sandwich: Place the top half of the bun over the ingredients, gently press down, and serve immediately.

Notes
Store leftover components separately to maintain freshness. Assemble the sandwich just before serving for optimal flavor.
