Bison, Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato (BBLT)

The Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich or more commonly, BLT, is a summertime tradition. Fresh beefsteak tomatoes and lettuce from the garden or farmer’s market piled high with smoky bacon is a sheer delight for the tastebuds. How to improve on such a simple masterpiece? Might we recommend a bison burger to complement this sensation of summer? Grass-fed, open range bison adds a whole new level of flavor. If you’re going keto or low carb, this Bison BLT doesn’t need a bun. Plate this colorful meal and tie into it with a fork! Enjoy.

Notes

Tomatoes have a wonderful flavor when grilled, but they get very soft and can be hard to handle. We recommend grilling them on a grill plate or foil so that they do not fall apart when removing them from the grill.
