Sunday Supper - Loaded BLT or as Brandon called it BLTopia

I used whole wheat french bread baguettes, but you could mix it up and use which ever type of bread you would like. I also served this with garlic french fries. Make your own or Trader Joe's has a great bag of these in the freezer section. I also used caesar dressing that included asiago cheese, but just plain caesar dressing would work too. Or choose a different dressing of your choice.

sliced bacon
plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
french bread baguette
green bell pepper, thinly sliced
white onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
olive oil
salt and pepper for seasoning
mixed greens
caesar dressing
avocado, sliced

In a medium sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp and cooked through. Remove and have rest on paper towel to absurd the drippings.

Drain just about all the bacon fat from the sauté pan. Drizzle pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell pepper, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until onions just begin to caramelize and are starting to brown and green bell peppers are soft.

While onion and bell peppers are cooking, mix greens with dressing. Toss to coat evenly.

Split baguette and toast until you have your desired texture.

Top toasted baguette with sliced tomatoes, mixed greens, onion and bell pepper mixture, bacon and avocado. Serve and ENJOY!!!!!

Wine pairing.....Chardonnay or an American Sparkling Wine.
