Romaine lettuce leaves, washed, trimmed, and dried
16 bacon strips
2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup ranch dressing (or another dressing of your preference)

Fry bacon until it is more on the chewy side than the crumbly side. Blot on paper towel.
To assemble your BLT boat, put 1 to 2 slices of bacon in the bottom of the Romaine leaf.
Top with tomatoes and cheese.
Drizzle dressing over the top.

Notes
If you like, you can turn your BLT boat into a wrap. Use a lettuce with more flexible leaves. Fill, fold, and serve.
