This recipe is DELISH! I love BLT's and this one is special. I used bacon because that's what I had and I also used butter lettuce because my store didn't have arugula, but I did not change the guacamole because this is what makes this sandwich. I also put a little mayo on our rolls and grilled them crisp in a pan which to me took this sandwich to another level. I used jalepeno diced really tiny and it added a spicy freshness--not too hot at all. Thank you for a keeper! -
BLTs are one of my favorite sandwiches, and my cravings for guacamole can be extreme. This was a great pairing for me. I didn't have the red chili for the guacamole and used a jalapeno and added a liberal dash of cayenne powder. I also used center cut bacon instead of the Canadian bacon and pulled it all together with a sour dough baguette. This was a fabulous sandwich full of great flavor.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
