Recipes Kentucky Hot Brown

Kentucky Hot Brown Bake

The famous Kentucky Hot Brown is an open-faced turkey sandwich completely drowning in cheesy sauce. This is not a recipe for the sandwich, but a layered variation of it. It’s also kind of like a baked club sandwich casserole and an absolutely delicious breakfast or brunch dish that was gone in minutes after we served it. We used sliced turkey, but you could use sliced beef, chicken or ham as well. You can also prepare it ahead of time and just stick it in the oven to bake about an hour before you want to serve it.
