Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders

Holy shit are these yummy! We love our hot browns here in Louisville, but to be honest, they’re a little weird just sitting in a dish. It’s like they’re missing a backbone. Well…enter some damn buns. These sammies take all the goodness of a hot brown but deliver it in a way that makes sense. The Cheese Sauce (and bacon) is what makes these bad boys extra special.
