Whether you’re in it for the horses, the hats or the mint juleps, the Kentucky Derby is always a good time. Known as “the most exciting two minutes in sports” our goal is always to make a delicious spread that’s just as lively as the race itself—full of Southern favorites and Derby classics. Whether you’re hosting a party at home or attending someone else's and taking a dish to pass, these recipes are sure to come in handy. We’ve rounded up plenty of winning picks but, when you're talking about Kentucky recipes, nothing is more iconic than hot browns. Damaris Phillips puts a fun spin on the classic sandwich by deconstructing the components (bread, cheese, turkey and more) and baking them in individual servings. They’re perfect for any party.
