Here's a pic of what you suggest:

But why stop with lettuce and tomatoes? Just add some torn up soft
white bread and some mayo and end up with "BLT cupcakes." heheh It
sounds good but lots of work. I would just make some regular BLT
sandwiches instead. The "cupcakes" would be a novel idea for a lunch
with guests though.

Dammit! I was going for low carb. And why did you have to post the pic.
Now I REALLY want it!

LOL! McDonald's Big Macs are on sale for a limited time. Only $1
each. Maybe buy one and ask them to leave off the sauce that you think
you wouldn't like.

For going low carb, a better idea is an In-n-Out Protein Burger
because they substitute lettuce leaves for the bun.

They do that now? Leave off the sauce? In times past there were no additions
or subtractions to the Big Mac, it came the same way every time. :-)

Ah, another gadget to separate people from their money during the
holidays. Google bacon explosion New York Times. This was a recipe it
published almost 5 years ago that involved making a lattice out of raw
bacon, encasing a lump of sausage and cooked crumbled bacon within, and
smoking it. A vegetarian colleague ran screaming from my office when I
showed her the recipe.

It has always been possible to custom order at McDonald's. It wasn't
impossible, it just took a bit longer. That's what people did when
they wanted a burger fresh off the grill. No patties are cooked fresh
for your special order anymore. Now, everything is assembled to order
and you take what's in the bins. That's another reason why people
like In-n-Out so much. Burgers are cooked as they are ordered, fries
are always fresh and the big plus is that it's all done in plain
sight.

Why couldn't those cups be formed in a cupcake pan?

I would think you could wrap the bacon around the OUTSIDE of the cupcake cups, put the pan on a rack in a baking pan to catch the drips and bake the cups that way. If you put the bacon INSIDE muffin cups you would have a bunch of grease inside so the bacon might not get crisp.

Fat renders and it crisps, no problem there. I was thinking the bacon
might come undone, so to solve that problem - insert another cupcake
pan the same size to keep it in shape. Worried about the fat
collecting at the bottom? Turn them upside down.

It was not possible where I was. There were NO additions or subtractions to
the Big Mac then...period.

Nah. That plain hamburger I ate was enough to tell me I don't like their
food.

I have never eaten there and we don't have them here. I hate, hate hate,
burgers wrapped in lettuce. Just ruins the lettuce for me. But I don't
mind some lettuce on top on a plate.

I wouldn't even try it. After my one failed attempt to get a burger with no
cheese. Apparently the only one you can get that way is the one called
hamburger. I think a Big Mac has cheese too, which I couldn't have. And
pickles, which I don't like on things. But I will eat them on their own.
Well, wait. I do like a peanut butter and pickle sandwich...

They could. That's what I said. But this device had a well in it to catch
the grease.

A custom sandwich order is called a "grill" as in, "Big Mac grill." When
my wife worked at a fast food place, the code for a good looking guy was
"cheese" as in, "cheese at the window!"

To hear you talk, it hardly seems worth a nibble. Besides, I thought
you didn't like bacon?

Yes, speed thee to the salad bar and do tell us how you don't like it and you won't be making it again. In 100+ lines. Go!
