yummiest most unhealthy recipe

Proceed with caution: the following recipe will be the most delicious thing you've EVER tasted, but will be enough calories for about a week.

If you're still reading, and you want to enjoy a serious treat, I bring you my own version of the Cafe Sarkis Loretta Sandwich. 

What? English please?

Okay okay. There is this tiny hole-in-the-wall breakfast spot near Chicago that I grew up (in high school/college) going to with friends (usually hungover). We would get the same thing every time - a bacon loretta with cheesy hash. I can't explain why it's so good, it just is. 

Since I now live in NYC, I decided it was time to recreate this recipe. And to my surprise, it tasted JUST like it. 

Here is the recipe -- super easy.

Ingredients
  • Bacon
  • Onion
  • Green Pepper
  • Tomato (seeds removed)
  • Provolone Cheese
  • Bread Roll of Choice
  • Lawry's Seasoning Salt
  • Hash Browned Potatoes 
Steps
  1. Chop up all veggies and set aside
  2. Cook bacon as usual, and set aside
  3. Remove bacon and cook the veggies in the same pan
  4. Remove veggies
  5. Add bacon back to pan, and place cheese over the top to melt
  6. Cook hash browns as usual and add cheese at the end 
  7. Toast roll
  8. Place the cheese/bacon combo on the bread, and pour the veggies over
  9. Sprinkle a hefty amount of Lawry's over the entire thing, and enjoy!
Easy right?

Here are some photos to inspire you.

Julia, do we need to talk? You grew up going to this place mostly hungover? I'm concerned.

However, I am not concerned about the caloric count in this bad boy and may very well make it the next time I am hungover. I might also live on the edge and throw some eggs in there for good measure.

Thank you for posting this--I thank you but my waistline and hips do not. I LOVE bacon so this just might be my treat this weekend!

omgomgomg how did i miss this post?!?! Every once in a while i get these WICKED sarkis cravings. I used to go with my ex-bf ALL the time (by his house). One time there was part of a rubber glove in his sandwich...which you would think would prevent us from every going back but no. DEFINITELY making this. Thanks for sharing!!
