2 Tablespoons Butter
10 Slices Sourdough Bread
1 Cup Dukes Mayo if possible
2 Cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2-3 Fresh Tomatoes beefsteak are best
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Pound Thick or Thin Sliced Bacon cooked, (preference is thin and use multiple for me as it's easier to eat)
1 Head Iceberg or Green Leaf Lettuce

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the butter in the pan.
2 Tablespoons Butter
Place each piece of bread face down on the skillet and cook on one side until golden and toasted. Repeat with all the pieces of bread. Set aside.
10 Slices Sourdough Bread
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon and whisk together.
1 Cup Dukes Mayo, 2 Cloves Garlic , 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Slice your tomatoes fairly thick and season well with salt and pepper.
2-3 Fresh Tomatoes, Salt and Pepper
Prepare your lettuce.
1 Head Iceberg or Green Leaf Lettuce
Assemble your sandwiches right before serving by spreading the mayo mixture on the untoasted side of all the pieces of bread.
Top one piece of mayo'd bread with several pieces of lettuce, slices of seasoned tomatoes and as much bacon as you want. Then place another piece of mayo'd bread on top (mayo side down of course!) Repeat with all the rest of your bread and ingredients.
1 Pound Thick or Thin Sliced Bacon
Serve and enjoy!
