Directions
Step 1
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the slices of bacon to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 3
Cook the bacon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

While the bacon is cooking, lightly toast the bread slices if you prefer a toasted sandwich.

Spread the unsalted butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Step 6
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Step 7
Assemble the sandwich by laying 4 slices of bacon on each of two buttered bread slices.
Step 8
Optionally, drizzle 2 tablespoons of ketchup or brown sauce over the bacon for added flavor.
Step 9
Top each sandwich with the remaining buttered bread slice.
Step 10
