Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 6 slices Thick-Cut Bacon Adds savory flavor and crisp texture; substitute with turkey or plant-based bacon for a lighter option.
  • 2 buns Sandwich Buns Provides structure and crunch; use brioche or classic sandwich rolls for the best results.
  • 1/4 cup BBQ Sauce Adds a smoky, sweet glaze to the bacon; experimenting with different sauces can give you a unique flavor profile.
  • 1/4 cup Ranch Dressing Enhances the overall flavor; creamy Caesar dressing can work as a delicious alternative.
  • 2 slices Cheddar Cheese Delivers creaminess and richness; feel free to swap in Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese for variations.
  • 1 cup Fresh Tomatoes Brings juiciness and freshness; opt for ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Shredded Lettuce Contributes crunch and freshness; iceberg or romaine lettuce are classic choices.
Optional Add-Ons
  • 1 medium Sliced Avocado Adds creaminess and vibrant color; it pairs beautifully with the smoky flavors of the bacon.
  • 2 tablespoons Extra BBQ Sauce Elevates the experience remarkably when drizzled or used for dipping.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Start with the bottom bun, adding melted cheese, glazed bacon, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and ranch dressing.
  6. Complete the Sandwich: Place the top half of the bun over the ingredients, gently press down, and serve immediately.
