Recipe notes & preparation tips

Often it may be easier to eat with utensils instead of by hand.

The bacon is usually too long to fit on the sandwich so cut it in half. One strip of bacon is usually used per sandwich so it will have 2 halves on it when finished.

Precooking the bacon may be accomplished while preparing the rest of the food. It is best to cook until between rare and crisp.

Red devils usually require one tomato per sheet of sandwiches but may vary depending upon the size of your sheets or the size of your tomato slices.

A whole onion is not needed for a tray of Red Devils. A small sprinkling of diced onions is sufficient. Sweet onions or red onions are a good substitution for normal white "storage" onions.

As always, you can experiment or change things according to your tastes.
