As you’ve probably figured out, baseball is kind of a big thing around here in July. And by big thing, I mean it controls our lives. I finally get my kitchen back only to have five nights IN A ROW for three weeks of being gone at dinner time.
My inner cook was dying a slow death. No. more. concession. food.
And then I thought hey, I can’t be home for dinner but there is no reason I can’t bring dinner to the ball field. And share with friends! Wonderful plan.
I needed something easy to transport. And easy to eat. And that’s when classic BLTs hit me: is there a better time to eat a tomato than in the dead of July?
No, there isn’t. And you can finally use up some of that basil that is overtaking your patio. Mix it up with the mayo and add a splash of fresh lemon juice. It’s delicious and complements the rest of the sandwich perfectly.
Get these BLT sliders going for your next picnic, sporting event, heck, even for dinner at home tonight! You won’t be disappointed.
- package of Hawaiian rolls
- good bacon
- small heirloom tomatoes
- lettuce
- 3 TBS mayo
- bunch of basil, chopped up
- squeeze of lemon
- Cook up your bacon, set aside.
- Combine the mayo, basil, and lemon.
- Assemble the sliders: smear each roll with the basil mayo, top with lettuce, bacon, and tomato!

Yum! What a delicious treat to share with the other baseball mommies. Concession food does get old if you have to do it multiple nights in a row. These look amazing!

I love love love BLT’s in the summer! I don’t have my own garden but the farmer’s market helps make up for that. I seriously look forward to fresh tomatoes and the excuse to need bacon all summer long :)! Thanks for sharing the idea of having them in slider form!
