Notes

Bagels - Use plain, everything, onion, cheddar, asiago or sesame flavored.
Lettuce - Crunchy varieties like iceberg, romaine, or butter/Bibb work best.
Bacon - Use thick-sliced. Turkey bacon can be substituted, if preferred. Use this recipe for the best way to make bacon!
Tomatoes - Thick slices of juicy tomatoes on the vine, heirloom or beefsteak. Amount of slices will depend on size of tomatoes. 
Mayo - Your favorite brand or make your own. Switch it up by using a flavored mayo or aioli like chipotle or garlic.
