Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Hot Browns

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toast the sourdough slices until golden brown. On each slice, layer the KY Legend ham, shredded roasted chicken, and then pour the cheese sauce generously over the top. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cheese sauce.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the assembled hot browns on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve hot. Enjoy your Mini Hot Browns!
