The ‘Mission Statement’ of Cooking for Slackers says food should be cheap, quick and cheerful. A bacon sandwich is a multi-purpose meal. It cures hangovers, it’s one in the eye for food fascists, it’s incredibly tasty, minimalist, fast, cheap, and cheerful. No Slacker can live a full life without a bacon sandwich

Ingredients

Two thick slices of white bread

Four rashers of smoked bacon

Ketchup

Technique

Butter the bread with gleeful enthusiasm

Heat up frying pan with oil or rely on the fat from the bacon

Using a fork or, better, a wooden spatula, keep the bacon from over-cooking

(This is controversial. Many Slackers feel it isn’t possible to over-cook bacon)

Crispy bacon is my favourite but cook to taste

Put all four rashers onto the buttered bread

Ketchup to taste

Voila!

Outcome

Glorious food in five minutes.
