Servings: 9 sandwiches
Course: Breakfast, dinner, lunch
Cuisine: british

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package thick-cut bacon
  • 9 dinner rolls
  • butter to taste
  • ketchup to taste

Method
 

  1. Make bacon. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lay bacon strips on it in a single layer. Roast for 20-30 minutes, until desired doneness. (I recommend crispy.) Once done, move to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
  2. Assemble sandwiches. Heat up the rolls, if desired, and add butter and ketchup to taste. Put 1 to 1 ½ strips of bacon on each sandwich. Close sandwiches and serve!

Notes

Dinner rolls: Use storebought or homemade--whatever you have the time or inclination to do. King’s Hawaiian would probably be good here.
Bacon: Thick-cut, not regular. 
Butter: No need to buy something special. use whatever you usually use.
Ketchup: I always use good old Heinz, but use whatever you like.  
What to serve with them: Salad for veggies, potato salad for summer vibes, chips for grab-and go, tomato soup for maximum coziness on a rainy day. The options are endless!
Leftovers: British bacon sandwiches keep for 4-5 days in the fridge, wrapped or covered tightly. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time until they’re warmed through.
