welcome to a very very special episode of the hot skillet what if i told you that there was a sandwich that could bring about world peace what if i told you that such a sandwich could also accomplish things like when the nobel prize for deliciousness feed hunger in Africa solve the world's crime problems and rid our community of drugs well I don't guarantee that it does all those things but I'll tell you this it'll take your tongue punch it in the face and kiss it all at the same time I present to you today the bacon sandwich alright so how do you stick happiness in between two buns well I'll tell you first you start off with one pound of double-smoked bacon then to that you can add one Julie and onion three slices of field tomatoes and some double cream brief alright i have my skillet nice and hot let's get this started alright so here we go with the bacon and I'll tell you the first secret about this sandwich is that you don't want the bacon crispy you want this bacon nice juicy and soggy okay trust me this is going to be real good all right to the bacon we're going to add Julie and onion that's a fresh ground pepper alright so it's been five minutes I have the bacon releasing a lot of that beautiful fat and I'm cooking the onions in that fat in fact that's what I'm waiting for I'm not necessarily waiting for the bacon to get cooked because technically the bacon is already cooked if it's brined and or smoke it's already cooked okay you could technically tit right out of the package but in this case I'm not waiting for the bacon to get crispy I'm just waiting for those onions to get nice and kind of golden colored and absorb a lot of that beautiful smoky bacon fat and that is what's going to make this sandwich go over the top all right so what I'm going to do is I'm going to put some chunks of brie in there and it's going to melt into the bacon and it's going to melt into the onions and then I'm going to transfer it onto my sesame seed bun check this out so now I'm going to put my chunks of brie in there and I'm going to let this kind of melt in alright so when I'm ready to serve I put my tomatoes on my bun all right now you want to grab a piece that has melted brie inside of it so I grab like a little glob of bacon and cheese all right and I put that on my sandwich all right so you want to put that on the sandwich okay so you have your melted brie you have your bacon tomato on the bottom all right now this thing is messy and it is as delicious as it is messy so that's all it takes to make the perfect bacon sandwich if you'll excuse me I'm going to go enjoy this you know from the moment I saw you I just I just kind of knew that there was such a really special value you know you're not like the other sandwiches here somehow we're special I have two tickets to Jamaica now I know we just met but what do you say this program is brought to you in part by kenmore cook more calm a dash of inspiration a taste that's all yours
