I like to make an entire package of bacon and store it in a large ziptop bag in the fridge to use throughout the week. I do this by making it in the oven. Hop on over to our post on how to make bacon in the oven so you don’t have to deal with a bunch of grease cleanup on the side.
Our bread of choice is rye, but you can use your favorite sandwich bread in its place. Sourdough, whole grain, brioche buns, or sturdy white bread are other good choices.
You can easily prepare your sandwich the morning of or even the night before if you're taking it along with you for lunch. The same goes for prepping these for parties. However, I would suggest holding off on adding the ranch until just before enjoying it. Alternatively, you can create a barrier between the bread with the cheese and lettuce so it doesn't get soggy as it sits.
