Kentucky Hot Brown Casserole

Comfort food at it’s finest! Layers of goodness! One bite and you will be hooked!

My disclaimer: I’m not from Kentucky, I’m a Utah girl but I do appreciate recipes from different parts of the country.

When I first started the blog, I focused on just recipes that I had known all my life and then I realized how many delicious dishes I never knew existed.

It’s so fun to try new things and get so excited to try something so new and different from my old stand bys! Don’t get me wrong, I still love to whip up a dish that I got from my grandma Ainge.

This dish is so cheesy and meaty that it’s sure to please any crowd! So easy to make. You can make it ahead of time and you can even freeze it for another time.
