Ingredients
Cheddar Cheese Sauce:
- 1 teaspoon stick margarine or butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat (1 percent) milk
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 (2-ounce) jar diced pimento, drained
- 6 (2-ounce) slices Texas toast, lightly toasted
- 12 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast
- 12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato (about 2 tomatoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Directions
To make sauce: melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook until thick (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until cheese melts. Stir in sherry and remaining ingredients. Yield: 2 cups
To make sandwiches: preheat broiler. Arrange toast in a 13 by 9-inch baking pan or baking dish. Top each toast slice with 2 ounces turkey and 2 tomato slices; sprinkle with pepper. Spoon Cheddar Cheese Sauce evenly over tomatoes, and sprinkle with bacon and paprika. Broil until lightly browned

I am a Louisville native and attempted this lighter version for a taste of home. While it turned out fine, it is nothing like what a true Hot Brown is supposed to be. The cheese sauce detracts from the dish.

Real Hot Browns, as served in the Brown Hotel use Mornay Sauce, not a cheese sauce. Not taking anything away from the recipe here, but the title of "Classic" is very much misleading.
