This is no boring old turkey sandwich. The Hot Brown is smothered in gravy, topped with bacon, and unmistakably delicious.
Does a turkey sandwich equal boring in your mind? Enter this compilation of cream, turkey, and carbs. What more could a girl ask for? I’m sure the lack of nutritional value in this meal is made up for by the simple wholesome single slice of tomato delicately placed across the top. You know, before it’s topped with bacon crumbles. Sure, this classic Hot Brown isn’t part of the Richard Simmons meal plan, but every now and then a guilt-infused dinner like this isn’t going to kill you either.
This is an epic open-faced sandwich, which is synonymous with delicious.
