Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Is there a better trio of ingredients for a simple sandwich? Kick it up a notch with fried green tomatoes a spicy mayo and some blue cheese.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees for the bacon and bake for 10-20 minutes until desired crispiness. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to cool.

Make the spicy mayo. Combine mayo, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Wash the lettuce thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.

Prep the green tomatoes by slicing 1/4 inch thick and season with salt. Prep the seasoned flour (garlic powder, salt, black pepper), egg wash, and cornmeal. Coat the tomato slices and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help the coating stick.

Pan fry the tomato slices over medium-high heat, about 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown. Toast the bread (grilled cheese style) in cast iron. A light coating of mayo on the bread gives it better texture and color than butter, it doesn't burn as easily.

Assemble and serve the sandwiches in the proper order: bacon, lettuce, fried green tomato. Spread with spicy mayo and blue cheese crumbles.
