Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This is a great recipe for get-togethers with family and friends. It can be served at a party or just an easy family dinner. Other cold meats can be added or substituted. But the best part of it is the bacon!!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Traditionally, a Kentucky Brown is served with a sauce, but we enjoyed the simplicity and flavor of this bake. Light and flaky crescent roll dough is the crust. The filling is a layer of hearty turkey, smoky bacon, thinly sliced Roma tomatoes, and creamy Swiss cheese. Beaten eggs hold everything together. Once baked, this casserole mimics the flavors of a Kentucky Hot Brown with an easier preparation. It's a satisfying and flavorful meal.
