Have I got the perfect game day food for y’all! These BLT Sliders are incredible.

If you’re like me and you live to eat rather than eat to live: this is the slider for you! You and I, my friends, we don’t just survive; we discover! We create!

Good Food

“Good food” is like music you can taste, color you can smell, happiness you can savor.

Dear reader, these BLT Sliders DEFINITELY count as “good food.” Each flavor used in this sandwich is unique and beautiful, but when you combine one flavor with the other: something amazing happens!

Every second of work you put into these BLT Sliders will be worth it because in the end you will have what I call a “Fireworks in your Mouth” moment: that moment when you taste something so utterly good your taste buds have to celebrate and you surprise yourself with your amazing cooking skills.

Wright brand bacon is the best to use in BLTs because its bigger and better!

Nothing says football like a BLT

Most people believe BLT stands for Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato.

Dear reader, if you are among those poor unfortunate souls who’ve always believed that, let me now educate you…

B- Ball

L- Linebacker

T- Tackle

Allow me to now educate you further:

When someone gets the B then the L will soon T…

Also, you were right: BLT does in fact stand for Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato, AKA, the best sandwich in the history of ever.

Perfect BLT sliders!

Pregnancy Cravings

About a decade ago I was pregnant with my first child. At the time, I was working as a genealogy consultant for a UK company. Because the customers were based out of the UK, their hours were the complete opposite of mine which resulted in me working from 2am until 10am five days a week.

I often found myself absolutely starving in the middle of the night and the only thing that ever sounded good was a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

BLT sliders with Pizazz! These are so good with their sun dried tomato aioli!

I was somewhat new to marriage and very new to pregnancy and feeling a little entitled. Haha!

Oftentimes I would make my husband stay awake with me while I worked all night long. Yeah, I was a crap wife. He would sit next to me watching football, while I worked and ate BLT after BLT.

To this day, an entire decade later, football cannot be playing unless I have a BLT in hand…

So of course I created a pint-sized version of my favorite sandwich to share with friends and family when they come for the big game!

Football is Bacon

Follow my line of thinking here for a second and you’ll soon understand the title of this paragraph:

Football is exercise

…exercise

…ex.. er.. cise

…ex.. are.. size

…eggs.. are.. sides…

…for bacon…

BACON.

(Saw that on a t-shirt once; it’s my new philosophy!)

the best way to cook bacon for sliders!

Bigger, Better Bacon

For these incredibly delicious BLT Sliders I use thicker cut Hickory Smoked Bacon: which means you will actually taste the bacon in every bite, AND it won’t fall apart when you accordion fold it for the sliders.

Optional Ingredients:

Y’all this recipe is pretty dang perfect as is! I’m not bragging… well yes, yes I am; because it is so great! However, if you’re looking to stray even further from the classic BLT, other ingredient options include:

  • Red Onion
  • Caramelized Onion
  • Cheese (I’d suggest Gouda)
  • Grilled Chicken
  • Guacamole
  • Egg

Of course, with those ingredients the name would need to change too. For example the BLT with an onion added would then need to be called a BOLT. I wonder what football acronym I could come up with for that sandwich!?!
