Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Cook 6-8 strips of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
- Brush the nearly crisp bacon with BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until sticky and glossy.
- Toast sandwich buns cut side down in the same skillet or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden.
- Optional: Place cheddar cheese on the buns and return to the broiler for 1-2 minutes until melted.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering cheese-covered buns with 3 strips of bacon, 2 thick tomato slices, and a handful of shredded lettuce, then drizzle with ranch dressing.
- Serve immediately while warm.

Notes
For best results, assemble sandwiches just before serving to maintain crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
