Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, lay out the thick-cut bacon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until crisp and golden.
- Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Brush both sides of the bacon with BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to caramelize.
- Drain Excess Fat: Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat.
- Toast the Buns: In the same skillet, add butter and toast the sandwich buns cut side down for 2-3 minutes.
- Melt the Cheese: Place cheddar cheese on the lower half of each bun and broil for 1-2 minutes until melted.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer three strips of bacon, followed by tomato slices, shredded lettuce, and ranch dressing.
- Final Touch: Cap with the top bun and serve immediately, optionally with extra BBQ sauce or ranch.

Notes
For best results, assemble the sandwich just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor.
