Kentucky Hot Brown

• 1 lb deli ham sliced thin
• 1 lb deli turkey sliced thin
• 8 slice tomato
• 8 slice bacon cooked to almost crisp or to almost desired doneness
• 4 large slices bread, I use sourdough
• 1 Recipe cheese sauce, recipe follows
• 1 bag potato chips, I use kettle chips because they hold up to the sauce

1. Cook bacon to just shy of crisp or desired doneness.
2. For cheese sauce, cook 3 tablespoons AP flour and 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan for a minute or 2.
3. Whisk in 3 cups of milk and 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
4. I use white pepper because I don't like the looks of black pepper in cheese sauce.
5. Cook on medium high til it boils and thickens.
6. Remove from heat and stir in 8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese til smooth.
7. Assemble open faced sandwiches.
8. On a sheet pan place 4 large slices of bread, I use sourdough.
9. On that pile turkey and ham and top with 2 slices of tomato on each.
10. Drizzle some cheese sauce over each sandwich and top each with 2 pieces of bacon.
11. Preheat oven to 450F or use broiler.
12. Place sandwiches in oven til hot and bubbly.
13. Place each on a plate and surround with chips.
14. Drizzle more cheese sauce over everything and enjoy.
