When it comes to cooking, I’m a one trick pony!
Howllo Fellow Hound and favorite dish lovers. OK, maybe I am better than what I give myself credit for, but I have a very small repertoire when it comes to cooking. I had to show you this dish that I rarely make. Grandpa wanted a KY treat after being in the hospital and I gladly obliged.
It is called a Kentucky Hot Brown. It was invented by the chiefs at the world famous Brown Hotel back in 1923. It is a pretty famous dish in these here parts. Bobby Flay even did a Throw Down with the Brown Hotel. Bobby lost! LOL
My version is a bit more substantive. I use English Muffins so the cheese sauce soaks into the nooks and crannies.
If you do not have real turkey you can substitute rotisserie chicken from your grocery store deli. I dice the white meat and sauteed it in butter and red onion.
I add broccoli spears, drained of all water.
I spend the most amount of time on my cheese sauce. It has 7 different cheeses and I could have easily added 3 more. I am a cheese freak.
Add sliced cherry tomatoes to the top and bake at 350 for an hour or until golden brown. You could probably do this in a larger casserole dish for a family. Don’t forget the cookie sheet.
Cook bacon to almost crisp and add on top during the last 15 minute of cooking.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh………..Comfort food!
Look how cute. These little cast iron skillets come with a handle holder so you can dig right in!
What could be better than a KY Hot Brown delivered on a basset hound tray?
I guess if I must be a one trick pony, this is the trick! Slurp!
More tricks later…….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
