Stop everything: This cooking trick is about to entirely change the way you’ve been making bacon. Everyone knows the disappointing feeling of biting into a juicy, crunchy BLT —and getting a mouthful of lettuce and soggy tomato instead of delicious bacon. It’s always a challenge to get a mouthful of bacon in every single bite, but that’s really the goal of the BLT-eating experience, isn’t it? But this hack will ensure that you never have a bacon-less bite in your sandwich again, so watch closely…
Start by cutting your slab of bacon in half:

Use tongs to place the crispy square on top of the your sandwich…
And voila! You’ve got bacon in every single bite.
