Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders

This year instead of the traditional open faced Kentucky Hot Brown, my daughter found a great recipe for a slider version.  These were a tremendous hit with dinner guests.  I altered the recipe and technique slightly, and was extremely pleased with the results.

1 24 count package of King's Hawaiian rolls, sliced open

2 T. butter, melted

1/2 pound very thinly sliced smoked deli turkey (I requested it shaved)

12 oz. apple wood smoked bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped pimento

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3/4 cup grated smoked Gruyere cheese

4 T. butter

4 T. finely minced onion

1 t. garlic powder

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

1 1/2 T. Worcestershire sauce

Place bottom of rolls in a 9 x 13 baking pan.  Brush with melted butter.

Add turkey evenly over rolls and then spread the bacon and pimento over the turkey.

Top with the shredded cheeses.  Replace tops of rolls.  Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add butter and onions and cook, stirring until onions are softened.  Add brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and stir until sugar has melted.

Slowly pour evenly over sandwiches and re-cover with foil.  Bake for 25 minutes and remove foil and return to oven for about 3 - 4 more minutes.  Serve immediately.
