Hot Brown Casserole

This hot brown casserole recipe is great to have for any meal of the day...even a midnight snack.

This recipe is based on the Kentucky Hot Brown that was first made by Chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel back in the 1920's. It was first created as an alternative to ham and egg late night suppers and has since become famous.

1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
