The Kentucky Hot Brown, if you’re not familiar, is typically an open-faced sandwich with turkey, bacon and tomato that’s smothered in a cheesy sauce before being baked or broiled. Here the Hot Brown is presented in slider form for one of the best sandwiches out there.
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
16 small dinner or potato rolls, split
1 pound sliced deli turkey
4 Roma tomatoes, sliced
16 slices cooked bacon, cut in half
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides of each roll. Place the rolls, cut sides up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Broil until just golden, about 1 minute.
3. Preheat the oven to 200℉.
4. Divide the turkey among the roll bottoms then top with the tomato slices and 2 half-slices of bacon. Place the baking sheet in the oven to keep the sandwich ingredients warm while making the sauce.
5. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, then the milk, Romano and paprika. Stir until the sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cheddar and stir until melted. Season cheese sauce with salt and pepper.
6. Place the sandwich bottoms on a platter. Drizzle with some cheese sauce and add the roll top. Serve warm.

It would have made sense to go to Kentucky for some music, but Wolf Saga came to me instead. Whistling and electro-pop will grab me every time.
