Gluten Free Classic BLT

There are some things in my book that should never be messed with. The classic BLT is one of them. It’s an old school sandwich that contains only 5 things: bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and bread. This is clearly a case of less is more. It’s always been a favorite of mine, and always will be.

Not a case of less is more? The Hellmann’s squeeze bottle. Big things have happened here people. Remember that old bottle you were constantly battling to give up that mayo? No more, people. No more.

Gone is that old bottle. While the BLT is not something to be messed with, the old squeeze bottle was. And it was definitely for the better. Now you can #SqueezeMoreOut with the new Hellmann’s Squeeze (Best Foods if you’re west of the Rockies). It’s designed to make your sandwich making life easier so you can get more of that mayo out as quickly as possible.

The precision tip is a super fun bonus – you can even write or draw messages with your mayo. Play with my food? Heck yes! So hooray and big cheers. Now let’s let the sandwich playing making commence.

It may seem silly to write up a How to Make a Classic BLT post but I really think we sometimes need this reminder. I do not want this classic sandwich to die away and fade into the background. There are so many twists and takes of this sandwich these days that this little original has become the underdog, un-sung hero sandwich.

Please let’s just stop with the avocado. Stop with the runny egg. Stop with the BLT salads and dips. Stop with the extras and just give me my bacon, lettuce, and tomato with mayo and toast. Ok? Thanks. But that bacon weave can stay.

That’s pretty awesome as far as I’m concerned. And maybe after I’ve got my classic BLT fix we can talk about those other shenanigans – like a lobster BLT. I’d be ok with that.

The BLT would be a super fun sandwich to take to school (or work). For my husband, that’d be both since he’s a teacher. He’d probably flip for this if he could actually do flips.

Here’s a fun handy visual guide on how to make a Classic BLT. There isn’t too much explanation needed but I’ll include a recipe too. Enjoy!
