Ultimate BLT and Crispy Oven Fries

I guess this isn't a "true" BLT, but it sure was tasty! We used a variety of simple ingredients in this delicious sandwich. Then added some baked crispy oven fries as a side and it was a great meal. The mustard/hot sauce mixture sounds kinda strange but believe me it works very well together. I cut the bacon slices in half because they stay on the sandwich better that way. It's a nice way to end this hot month with these tasty and fresh ingredients.

• 1/4 cup torn fresh basil
