Leftover Turkey Kentucky Hot Brown Origin

Chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Camberley Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, created the Hot Brown Sandwich in 1926.

Today the Hot Brown sandwich is still a Louisville favorite and still the signature dish of the Camberley Brown Hotel.

A visit to Louisville is not complete without tasting this wonderful sandwich.

But this recipe is healthier than typical hot browns! A really slimmed down version.

These made a wonderful weekend breakfast treat that we demolished with alarming speed..

You won’t miss the butter in the cheese sauce. And don’t skimp on the hot sauce!

I am SO glad that I found this little beauty..a keeper without doubt!!
