This is an easy recipe for some delicious sandwiches this summer. While it can technically be made any time of year, Mid-June through October when those delicious garden tomatoes are ripe is best.

Notes
If you got some nice juicy garden tomatoes as needed and followed these instructions, you will end up with a delicious BLT that drips savory tomato juice down your chin as you eat. It's the only time of year I will eat BLTs because the taste of winter tomatoes and summer tomatoes is like night and day. vine tomatoesAs far as cooking bacon goes, yes it probably will always taste a bit better on the stovetop. I cooked it that way for a long time. However, cooking it in the microwave is so much easier, faster, and has less clean up. Not to mention it's actually still very good and when on a sandwich you honestly won't even know the difference. Anyhow... I purchased this microwave bacon cooker on Amazon about 5-6 years ago and have been using it for cooking bacon ever since.
