Frugal In Florida

I post about Hot Browns on my Menu Plan Mondays pretty frequently. And I always get side tracked by something else or just don’t feel like the hassle of doing it. Tonight, the day after Thanksgiving, no kids in the house, and hubby pretty much out on his back with back problems, I made it, using 2 big hunks of turkey breast that we had fried yesterday. Oh lordy, why have I waited so long? Yeah, I know, I’ve said (any may have even put it in writing a time or two!) that a Hot Brown is just a glorified hot open face turkey sandwich. But after making it tonight and eating it, I must say, it deserves to be called so much more! This is definitely staying in my to go to recipe list … the sauce, even though it took a little time, was pretty much done in the time it took for the bacon to cook so not so bad if you are good at multitasking (and toasting the bread and remembering that oops, the turkey should be sitting out to take the chill out) … go ahead, have at it and let me know what you t...

Ok. They weren't bad. They weren't to die for either. The kids & dh complained that the house smelled funky when they came in. Honestly, it kinda smelled like a sewer smell. Not sure why but it did smell odd. I took the lid off & cooked the juice down some. They were ok. Edible. I think next time I would use beef ribs with bone. The ones I used were boneless countrystyle pork. They were frozen so I coudln't trim alot of the fat off ... I hate fat in the crockpot .

Would have been delicious had I used all white flour. Just not a wheat flour fan. Here's how they looked right before I was ready to bake: I just don't like whole wheat flour and the flavor when I bake with it :( Next time, it's all white flour, regardless of what dh says!
