Now I love a BLT, but wanted to make something a bit different.... like a beer battered bacon/cheese sammy.

Cut some bacon slices.

The line-up:

Fired up the performer... fried the bacon.

Putting it together.

Dipped both sides of the sandwich in the beer batter (1/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup pale ale, 1 egg, 1/4 tsp chipotle powder / whisked well) & onto a buttered skillet.

Flipped after a few minutes.

Gave it a few more minutes on the grill & it was time to eat!

Yum! Next time I'll use some thicker bread - something like Texas toast. & remember to put the egg in the batter. :p

It's all good, man!

Great looking cook Robert. Gives one pause to think. I should learn how to make bacon. Especially since Costco has pork belly. How do you like that hanger?
 
Robert. I can get excellent pork-belly from my local butcher anytime. Please can you post your cure/smoke method? It looks fantastic. I want to do this!!!

Nice bacon sarnie there.
 
Wonderfully creative and delicious looking cook Robert. You had me with the hung pork belly and it just got better from there!
